Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis

It will not be long now before the Fairy Slippers are blooming again. We have an outing planned for the beginning of May to see them at Deschutes Falls State Park. This is an older picture taken later in the year (at a higher altitude) along the Goat Mountain Trail in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. It shows the Western Fairy Slipper which differs from eastern in that the "beard" or hairs on the lip are white, not yellow.
