Corallorhiza maculata var. occidentalis

This photo was taken by my wife near the place where we took the pictures of the Mountain Lady's Slipper posted a few days ago. I thought the picture especially artistic and worthy of posting. This is the Western Spotted Coralroot, barely distinguishable from the ordinary variety by the shape of the lip.
