Listera banksiana

This is a close up of the native orchid I posted a few days ago. Listera banksiana or caurina, the Northwestern Twayblade, has flowers around a half inch (1.5 cm) in size. The species is common here in the northwest, but because is small with small green flowers it often passes unnoticed. This example was photographed at Lake Elizabeth.
