Getting closer to orchid season
Hi All, getting closer to orchid season here in Western Montana, by the middle of May I'll be out hunting for Fairy slippers up on Tin Cup Creek near where I live in Darby MT. Last year I found the first blooms on 5/29/2023.
Hope to do the trip to Sun River on the Rocky Mt Front west of Augusta MT, its near Gibson Reservoir. If you're interested in joining expedition to do an orchid hunt/photo shoot let me know. There are a couple of other area's that should be good hunts such as Swan River Valley south of Glacier Nat Park it's one of the best areas in Montana to hunt for orchids and around St Regis MT for Clustered Lady's-slipper - Cypripedium fasciculatum it's been reported at several sites in the area.

FYI-
As of 4/17 Green Timber Basin is accessible. Way too early for orchids. But accessible.
Will be expeditioning closer to the season (mid June probably)
Thats when I plan to go to Gibson Reservoir area, Mid June to mid July some time. Yah end of May would be a little early for that area.
I'm thinking that I'll see the first Calypso in the 3rd week of May, here in the Bitterroot Valley.
