This very showy native orchid, Epipactis gigantea, is known as the Chatterbox because of its hinged mobile lip which moves up and down like a talking mouth in the slightest breeze. It is also known as the stream orchid for its love of wet places. These were photographed near Crescent Lake in Olympic National Park last summer.
