Amerorchis rotundifolia

In Explore July 25, 2011, #353.

Amerorchis rotundifolia, the Small Round-leaf Orchis, does not grow in Washington State. This plant was photographed in Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia where it grows by the thousands. In the place where this plant was photographed it was impossible to take a step without crushing some of the plants. The photo was taken early in the morning when the flowers were covered with dew or rain from the night before.
