Calypso Orchid

28 Oct 2008 129
A beautiful Calypso Orchid seen in the forest at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), Kananaskis, way back in early June. I can never get the whole flower in focus - tends to be the striped part that comes out sharp, but I think that's my favourite part anyway, because of the texture and pattern. It has a definite glisten to it : ) Reminds me of something, but I can't think what. I know, a glass slipper : )
