While reviewing some photo files today I discovered that I had forgotten to do anything with some photos of one of my favorite flowers that I had taken back in May on a hike into the Cherry Peak roadless area in the Coeur d’Alene Mountains here in western Montana. In the hope that someone may enjoy seeing them, I uploaded them to Flickr and am posting them here now.
Calypso Orchid, Fairy Slipper, Calypso bulbosa
According to USDA Plants, Calypso bulbosa is “Endangered” in New Hampshire and New York and “Threatened” in Michigan, Vermont and Wisconsin.
