Spotted Coral Root Orchids in the Sway

The recent rains have been a boon to the wildflowers here. I found some local trails I hadn't been on before with some little gems.

Gorgeous shot of this interesting Orchid Monika. Looks like a great place to hike.

Those are some seriously cool little blooms. The blade of grass puts their scale in perspective. Glad you were looking for small scene whilst wandering.

Thanks, Trent. I'm lucky to live where I do.

Thanks, Alan. I keep my eyes peeled for these little treasures as well as large ungulates. And predators.

Nice background separation with lovely bokeh. The tiny blooms look like dice!

I'll have to hang them from the rear view mirror of a toy car!

Interesting. I don't see these very much. Do they typically grow in a curvy fashion?

No, they're usually just straight vertical. If it was a tree, I'd say that the ground slid.
