This is the form of the Tiger Lily found here in the Pacific Northwest. This plant was photographed on a orchid hunting excursion to Vancouver Island. We were looking for the rather insignificant but rare native orchid shown below, Platanthera chorisiana, Chamisso's Orchid. We were looking for it in a high altitude bog under the guidance of Dr. Hans Roemer, a botanist and ecologist with the BC government. We found the orchid in several locations but also found many other wildflowers in bloom including these lovely lilies.
