Grass Widows

I intend to up load more pictures from our recent hike in the Ancient Lakes area of eastern Washington, but thought I'd upload two pictures today that were taken elsewhere in eastern Washington.

This is an early-season wildflower, Olsynium douglasii, or Grass Widows, photographed in the Medical Lake area of eastern Washington near Spokane. We found a whole field of them while out for a drive.

We not only found the ordinary lavender or pink form but a a few plants with white flowers and one plant with bi-colored flowers, both of which I'll post later when I have more time (was at an orchid show most of the day).
