RHH's photos with the keyword: lesser rattlesnake orchis

Here's the Lesser Rattlesnake Orchis in situ near Kinney Lake. We found these while hiking the Berg Lake trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia. nativeorchidsofthepacificnorthwest.blogspot.com/2012/08/l...

This is the Lesser Rattlesnake Orchis, a plant that grows all across northern Europe, Asia and North America. It does not, however, grow as far south as Washington, and for that reason we had never seen it until last summer when we were in Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia in August. It is small species, less than a foot tall with tiny white flowers and easily passes unnoticed. The leaves, not shown here, are often beautifully veined with silver. The link below has other pictures of it and of the other Goodyera that grow in our area, Goodyera oblongifolia, the Giant Rattlesnake Orchis. nativeorchidsofthepacificnorthwest.blogspot.com/2012/10/t...

One more photo of the Lesser Rattlesnake Orchis to bring my series of shots from Mount Robson Provincial Park to an end. This species does not grow in Washington, but does grow further east in Montana and is found in Europe and Asia as well. nativeorchidsofthepacificnorthwest.blogspot.com/2012/08/l...
