Calypso Orchid / Calypso bulbosa


This is such a tiny, elegant wild Orchid, but not the easiest to photograph. I usually look for a flower growing alone, and not in a cluster, and then do a circle around it on my hands and knees to get the best light and background. So glad you can't see me getting up afterwards, ha! When I do manage to get a sharp photo, though, I love to see the "slipper" and its stripes and decoration. Photographed at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), Kananaskis, on June 10th.
Dead beat after a long day in the mountains today. A whole bunch of us descended on Kananaskis, looking for plants and birds - and anything else interesting and beautiful. We did two walks. The first took us as far as the Sarrail Falls, by Kananaskis Lakes, and the second walk was the Mount Everest trail, lol. Two beautiful hikes through mossy forest with mountain peaks and lakes all around.
So, I'm posting really late today - evening.
