Piperia unalascensis fma. olympica

Piperia unalascensis fma. olympica
The Alaskan Piperia, Piperia unalascensis, is a common and not very showy native orchid that is found along the Pacific Coast and across the northern USA and Canada. The plant can be quite tall, nearly three feet (80+ cm) but the flowers are tiny, around a 1/4 inch (5-7 mm). There is a dwarf form of this plant that grows on Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic Mountains that is less than a foot tall (30cm) and these flowers were photographed there.
