I took this photo of a very small Calypso Orchid about a year ago, at Maclean Pond, Kananaskis. Haven't been getting very good photos of them so far this spring/summer, so thought I'd post this one that is a little better. Summer??? Today, we have had snow, rain and hail - oh, and a brief period when the sun actually came out, LOL.

This is one of our small, wild Orchids, Striped Coralroot. It is a native plant and grows in open woods. Grows 15-40 cm tall, June-July. Always a good feeling when we come across a few clumps of this attractive plant.
