Wow! Those orchids are gorgeous.
Most hikers would be too busy looking at the mountains and general scenery and fail to see the beauty at their feet.
Thanks for sharing, Terry 🙂

This is one of the prettiest that we have here. And I’m sure that there are many folks who pass by without seeing them. In my next post I will include a photo looking away from these flowers which are growing on a mountainside a thousand feet above the valley.

It always amazes me to see something that seems as though it belongs in an equatorial jungle living in your neighborhood. The little purple “crowns” they’re wearing make me think of Mardi Gras, or Carnival in Rio. The details are fascinating, and the colors are so vibrant.

They are as delicate as they look. Just touching their stems can kill the plant and they depend on a specific fungi to live, making them impossible to transplant, and yet the ones in the photos were hardy enough to see a temperature in the mid twenties about 5 hours before the photos were taken. Amazing!

Wild orchids is, in itself, a beautiful phrase, and they are just other worldly. Gorgeous photos.

Yes, for me wild orchids hold a romance unmatched by any other flowers.

Your photos reveal a small world of beauty beneath our feet. Lovely shots. How lucky to have found a “family” — my find the other day was only a single bloom but it still captured my heart. Your Calypsos (which is what I learned to call them) are slightly different than here in Alberta — ours have tiny yellow hairs where yours are white. Other than that they are very similar.

We do have the some with yellow too. I think they are both sub-species. I have seen families only in a few areas; usually they are pretty well spread apart.
