Cool!!! :~)
It's so much fun finding wild orchids!
I've found several in my area and it's always a thrill.
I know that there are more types and I just haven't seen them yet.
It's even better when you find rare variations!
Hopefully, they'll keep growing there and get better and better.

I wasn't expecting to find the white form and I thought it was a real beauty. I had found a few acaule last year in the same spot but it was the end of the flowering season and they were damaged. There were many more this time.

I've been going to the same area for about five years.
I just found two orchids that I've never seen before. It's is definitely a matter of when you look and where. :~)
The three biggest thrills have been finding Cyp.californicum, Darlingtonia's and just a few months ago, my first Calypso bulbosa flowers!

I need to go out and look around again, sometime soon. As it got hot again, I'm not sure how much will be left.

Quel plaisir de voir que nos orchidées natives poussent si bien.

My parents had a cottage in the Eastern Townships and as a kid, I made it a point to keep track of the lady's slipper orchids that grew on our grounds. We were very aware of the importance of not picking them. Sadly, the colony declined over the years, possibly as the cover grew thicker around them or maybe climate change. Nice to see there are still some around in the province!
