Platanthera dilatata var. dilatata

Platanthera dilatata var. dilatata
This is the Bog Candle, very common in our area, but always a delight to see. This photo was taken last year on Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park. There are three varieties of this species, different only in the length of the spur that sticks out from the back of the lip. These are often found by the thousands in boggy areas and along roadsides where they stand out like candles. They are very fragrant also and the air will be perfumed by them for a long distance near where they are found.
