I had such an enjoyable trip out to Bow Valley Provincial Park on Thursday evening, for the Summer Solstice Orchid Walk. The scenery is so beautiful, different in every direction and the variety of wildflowers is heavenly. Two new plants I got to see were the Sparrow's-egg Orchid and the One-flowered Broomrape (also called One-flowered Cancer-root). Thanks to Suzanne for the ride there and back!

This is where I spent the evening of the Summer Solstice! We walked around Manysprings pond, looking for all sorts of plants. It is such a beautiful wetland area at the foot of the eastern edge of the mountains, very rich in flora and fauna.
