Photographed at the Bronx Zoo, New York.

In Explore August 27, 2011, #304. This is the form of the Tiger Lily found here in the Pacific Northwest. This plant was photographed on a orchid hunting excursion to Vancouver Island. We were looking for the rather insignificant but rare native orchid shown below, Platanthera chorisiana, Chamisso's Orchid. We were looking for it in a high altitude bog under the guidance of Dr. Hans Roemer, a botanist and ecologist with the BC government. We found the orchid in several locations but also found many other wildflowers in bloom including these lovely lilies. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/07/bog-trottin...
