Lots more pictures here:
Serendipity and Orchids: First Native Orchids of the Year
AS noted in the blog post, the pictures are of the variety that is found only west of the Rockies and in the North Cascades, variety occidentalis. |

Again - beautiful pictures! I'm looking forward to June and July when our orchids and lilies will be in full bloom. The snow has not completely melted yet, and the ground is still frozen.
