Diario del proyecto Orchids of Western Montana

Hi All, first orchid of the season, yah it's Rattlesnake Plantain but it is an orchid and a start.
Found on Tin Cup Creek near my place here in Darby MT. No Fairy Slipper's yet just a matter of hitting
trail. This weekend for sure will find some.
I'm headed to the Oregon Coast next week I should have about 4 days of plant photography at Sunset Beach and South Slough maybe get up the South Fork of the Coquille River. Hopfully orchids will be out and great picture will be had.

Hi All, made it to Oregon for Moms Bday. A lot of plants flowering and everything is so so green and lush, I got a lot of good pictures, but no orchids. I think I was in between the Fairy Slipper Bloom and other orchid species. I did find one Fairy Slipper along the Mckenzie River on the way home. Maybe another trip later. But now I'm going to work on getting up to Swan Lake area soon.
