Dendrobium sulphureuym is another species from New Guinea belonging to the Oxyglossum section of the genus, which usually means colorful and long-lived flowers. This certainly fits the bill. It is about six inches tall and at the tip of each growth produces two or three flowers that last for many months. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2011/08/dendrobium-sulphu...

This is another photo from Lake Elizabeth, this time of one of our native orchids, the Hooded Ladies' Tresses, Spiranthese romanzoffiana. The braided appearance of the flower spikes is the reason for the name "Ladies' Tresses" and these flowers are also distinctly "hooded." The plant flowers late in the summer and there were an abundance of them at Lake Elizabeth this past summer, though I've been told that in other years they are hard to find. nativeorchidsofthepacificnorthwest.blogspot.com/2012/09/c...
