Piperia candida
Very similar to the the rather common Alaskan Piperia, Piperia unalascensis, but with white flowers. These were photographed in the Greenwater area north of Mount Rainier.

really cute, I love pictures of wild orchids
|
The thrill of finding them and seeing them in the wild is hard to describe, Hannah. Thanks.
|
That is a cute one! The name caught my eye...so close to Piper, as in piper nigrum, one of my plants. Great photography, as always!
|
Thanks, Leaf. This used to be included in the genus, Platanthera, but has now been separated from that along with a number of other species.
|
Nice!
|
Thanks, Sonya. Wish everyone could see these in situ!
|
I don't think I had ever heard of these before. Excellent pics as always.
|
The Piperias are all now reclassified as Platantheras and this one as Platanthera ephemerantha.
|
So they separated them just to clump them back together. Hahaa!! I love science. Always willing to admit mistakes.
