The last while I found several Piperias (now Platanthera) near our home, an especially nice find since we have had little opportunity to do any orchid hunting the past couple years. One of the species, <i>Piperia</i> or <i>Platanthera elongata,</i> the Long-spurred Piperia, I had seen before, but this year I found it in five or six different locations within two miles of our home. The other species, <i>Piperia</i> or <i>Platanthera elegans,</i> the Elegant Piperia, I had not seen before in our area and was thrilled to find one lonely stem. Here are the photos.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Piperia elegans</i>, Elegant Piperia</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The original plan was a gallery featuring the native orchids of the Olympic Peninsula since the annual native orchid conference was to be held there in 2020. That conference had to be cancelled because of the covid crisis. I was then asked to do a gallery, also featuring the orchids of the Olympic Peninsula, but titled, "What We Missed." The gallery was duly published and is now on the website of NAOCC at this address: https://northamericanorchidcenter.org/featured-olympic-peninsula-what-we-missed/. The photo at the head of this brief post is also on that website and is of myself photographing <i>Cypripedium montanum</i>, the Mountain Lady's Slipper, in Blewett Pass, Washington. The other photos are the photos featured in the gallery.<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Calyso bulbosa var. occidentalis</i><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5fQ-0txUpQ0/YW3JfEwOA2I/AAAAAAABOZM/5lS_rCJybGMvNeFb_XPPjHTbZLqa2gwhgCLcBGAsYHQ/s5184/%25231%2B-%2BCalypso%2Bbulbosa%2Bvar.%2Boccidentalis.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

We visited a number of our favorite places including Ruby Beach, the Hoh Rainforest, Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent and Deer Park. We did one shorter hike along the Hoh River and one longer hike along Lillian Ridge and down to Grant Lake. It was not meant to be an orchid-hunting trip but we did find a number of orchids which I've posted here.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Epipactis gigantea</i> (Chatterbox or Stream Orchid) <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

While driving some of the back roads and doing some hiking we were excited to see the Large Yellow Lady's Slipper in several different locations. We had not seen many orchids yet because of the covid outbreak and so were thankful that we could add these to our list of orchids for 2020.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-weCeVHqAI58/YWnFgzIMBQI/AAAAAAABOXU/MMxZlBVusAY3skCPTsY69btm9c33wv3swCLcBGAsYHQ/s5472/Cypripedium%2Bparviflorum%2Bvar.%2Bpubescens%2B%2528Lake%2BHuron%2529%2B%25235.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

In October of 2017, after major surgery, I retired and we moved to eastern Washington near Spokane. We bought a house that was a short sale and spent a great deal of our spare time in 2018 and 2019 working on the house and getting it into livable shape, most of the work done by one of our sons who is a builder. We also had our daughter and son-in-law move to Spokane in early 2019 and they lived with us for about four months.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Voe78Y-vbPY/YVyNbNfoYJI/AAAAAAABOR8/2is6ie63yQw4-Rh7ThsL-NYb8msoW2eywCLcBGAsYHQ/s4032/Before.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Voe78Y-vbPY/YVyNbNfoYJI/AAAAAAABOR8/2is6ie63yQw4-Rh7ThsL-NYb8msoW2eywCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Before.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" data-original-height="3620" data-original-width="5426" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yRT0UnBP-qo/YVyNeYjlsaI/AAAAAAABOSA/7pziiCM4K3Y1C8pMwQvUDtKMes9TJ9IxwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h266/After.jpg" width="400" /></div> </div><div style="text-align: left;">We did manage a long trip through Washington, Oregon and into northern California, visiting many of our favorite orchid sites along the way.

We found both in abundance and also found a few Phantom Orchids, <i>Cephalanthera austiniae</i>.

We looked for and found seven orchids in Washington, <i>Epipactis gigantea</i>, the Stream Orchid or Chatterbox, so named for its love of lake and stream sides and for its hinged lip, which moves in the breeze, and <i>Cypripedium montanum</i>, the Mountain Lady's Slipper. The <i>Epipactis</i>, though rare in Washington, we found by the thousands in the location we visited. The Lady's Slipper was also abundant and we found both the very dark form with the purple-stained lip (<i>fma. welchii</i>) and the albino form (<i>fma. praetertinctum</i>). In the same place we found the Mountain Lady's Slippers we also found <i>Platanthera unalascensis</i>, the Alaskan Piperia. At a third location we found Platanthera dilatata, the Bog Candle, and at a fifth location <i>Cephalanthera austiniae</i>, the Phantom Orchid and <i>Corallorhiza maculata</i>, the Spotted Coralroot, both red-stemmed and yellow stemmed varieties, along with a few stems of <i>Corallorhiza striata</i>, the striped Coralroot, both the ordinary variety and the smaller-flowered <i>var. vreedlandii</i>.<br />

I found orchids at all but two of the locations and it was very late in the season for the orchid I expected to find there. These are the results of that two-day search for our native orchids.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">
</p><p style="text-align: left;">
At the first location I found the Eastern Fairy Slipper and its natural hybrid with the Western Fairy Slipper, Kostiuk's Hybrid Fairy Slipper. The Fairy Slippers were very sparse this year and the area they were in had suffered from a windstorm that left numerous blowdowns and blocked trails.<br />

At the third location I found the Mountain Lady's Slipper and the Spotted Coralroot. The Spotted Coralroots were all the round-lipped variety, but included numerous yellow-stemmed plants. This usually rare form is more numerous than the normal form in this location. <br />

At a fifth location with orchids I found a few Mountain Lady's Slippers. I also looked for Coralroots there and found none and for a small rare Lady's Slipper but did not find it, either. The Mountain Lady's Slippers were at the peak of their bloom at this lower elevation, not the case higher up.<br />

The other locations were also place where I looked for the Mountain Lady's Slipper and found it, though at the higher elevations they were just starting to bloom. I also found plants of the albino form, green and white instead of mahogany and white. They were not fully open, however.<br />

I had to lead a field trip for the Washington Native Plant Society on Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands on May 18 and did some orchid hunting along the way and in preparation for the field trip. I found five species in bloom and several additional varieties, the first orchids of the year for me. The plants all seemed sparse this year, especially on the west side of the mountains where an unusual winter was followed by a hot and dry spring.<br />
<br />
I stopped first in north-central Washington to see if the Eastern Fairy Slippers were blooming there. They had just started and I found about six plants in flower, but it was raining and I did not linger or explore further than the area we were acquainted with.<br />

I went on to the west side of the Cascades and hike the Thunder Creek trail looking for the Western Fairy Slipper but they were nearly finished even at that elevation and I only found a couple of plants. Also found two different Listeras in bloom there.<br />

The Northwestern Twayblade was just starting to bloom and I found a few open flowers. Both the red and green forms of the Heart-leaved Twayblade were blooming but there were far fewer of them than I am used to seeing that area. I had difficulty finding just a few of them.<br />

At the annual show of the Spokane Orchid Society to which we belong, I made and set up a display illustrating Washington's native orchids. The display included photos, information, cut-out models of orchids and handouts. The display won several ribbons and an Educational Excellent Award from the American Orchid Society. These are the photos and information included in the display.<br />

<i>Fairy Slipper Facts</i><br />
<br />
Washington has two varieties of the Fairy Slipper<br />
Eastern Fairy Slipper<br />
distinguished by a yellow “beard”<br />
and found across North America<br />
and<br />
Western Fairy Slipper<br />
distinguished by a white “beard”<br />
and found only west of the Rockies<br />
<br />
where the range of these two varieties overlaps<br />
a hybrid of the two can be found<br />
Kostiuk’s Hybrid Fairy Slipper<br />
distinguished by a finely spotted lip</div>

Washington’s Weirdest Orchids<br />
<br />
Washington has four Coralroot species<br />
and the Phantom Orchid</div>
<div align="center" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
----------<br />
<br />
these orchids have little or no chlorophyll<br />
and are leafless or nearly so<br />
<br />
----------<br />
<br />
they are mycoheterotrophic<br />
getting nutrients from decaying soil materials<br />
through a symbiotic relationship with a fungus</div>
<div align="center" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
----------<br />
<br />
they can often be found on dark forest floors<br />
where there is little light<br />

We backpacked in Mount Robson Provincial Park In British Columbia recently. We went both for the scenery and the native orchids and were well satisfied with what we saw of both. On the 23km hike to our campsite we found ten different orchids in bloom and saw several more that were not yet in bloom, a total of twelve, ten of which are featured in this post. I posted them in the order we saw them, though we saw several species at different places along the trail.<br />

While orchid hunting in Kootenay National Park in British Columbia we found two color forms of <i>Amerorchis rotundifolia</i> now <i>Galearis rotundifolia</i>. The ordinary form has a spotted lip (see photo below) but these two forms are different. <i>Fma. lineata</i> has a lip with heavy purple "lines" and <i>fma. immaculata</i> has a pure white lip. I had seen <i>fma. lineata</i> before but had never seen <i>fma. immaculata</i>.<br />

<br />
In addition to these forms we found a form, not named, but probably <i>fma. lineata</i>, with a lip that ws almost solid purple. There are other color forms as well, some of which we've seen and some not. There is a pink-flowered form, an all-white form and a form with green on lip and very faint pinkish-purple markings. Some effort is required to examine the plants for these different forms but the effort is often rewarded since they often grow mixed in with the ordinary spotted form of the flowers.<br />

<i>Galearis rotundifolia</i> is a small terrestrial orchid, generally around 15 cm with 2 cm flowers, with up to 15 flowers per inflorescence. It easily goes unnoticed but up close is very beautiful with the flowers resembling little angels. When found it is often found in abundance with hundreds of plants in an area. It prefers slightly shady forest locations that have plenty of water and is widespread.<br />

<i>Platanthera obtusata</i>, the Blunt-leaved Rein Orchis, is very common in the Canadian Rockies and further north and we've seen it often, so often that we do not usually stop to photograph it. It was, however, one of only two orchids native to Washington that we had not seen in the state.<br />

We'd been given several sets of GPS coordinates by a friend and finally found the species in the Okanogan Highlands in north-central Washington in two locations. We had to do some scrambling and bushwacking to see it, but found it at peak of bloom and were delighted to add it to our list.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In both cases it was growing on the edge of a bog, about twenty plants at each location. We did not stay long for photos since the mosquitoes were thick and biting, but got enough photos to record the find, beautiful in the photos but in fact rather small and uninspiring and easily missed.Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02396895652310296971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622428321840240802.post-50143170687230510082018-06-21T16:58:00.001-07:002018-06-21T16:58:21.011-07:00New Location for Epipactis gigantea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Having information from a friend who found the species there (he was along on the excursion) we visited Dry Falls State Park in central Washington to see <i>Epipactis gigantea</i>, the Stream Ochid. Reputed to be rare in the state there were thousands of plants at two locations in the park, and though the flowers were just beginning to open we were able to get enough photos to prove that we had seen the species there.<br />

<i>Epipactis gigantea</i> is an attractive species, always growing near water and often on the very edge of streams and lakes. That was the case here also. Sometimes the flowers are rather dull-colored but often they are the opposite, as the photos demonstrate. It is also a rather large plant as native orchids go, and it is surprising that with its size and the number of plants it had not been previously reported from this location.Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02396895652310296971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622428321840240802.post-69496948473814880792017-10-30T08:04:00.000-07:002021-10-14T18:58:31.503-07:002017, A Missed Year<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8HpLgMpYAgs/YWiygpribCI/AAAAAAABOUI/C8lP7CPyKFQpj8tYzNQyDuDtoZyI-fTggCPcBGAYYCw/s5472/Platanthera%2Bdilatata%2Bvar.%2Balbiflora%2B%2528Hyalite%2BCanyon%2529%2B%25231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5472" data-original-width="3648" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8HpLgMpYAgs/YWiygpribCI/AAAAAAABOUI/C8lP7CPyKFQpj8tYzNQyDuDtoZyI-fTggCPcBGAYYCw/w426-h640/Platanthera%2Bdilatata%2Bvar.%2Balbiflora%2B%2528Hyalite%2BCanyon%2529%2B%25231.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> <p></p><p>2017 was a missed year for us as far as native orchids were concerned. I was in the hospital four times from March through August and did not really start feeling better until January of 2018.<br />
<br />
Back on March 22 I went in to emergency at the local hospital with what I thought and the doctors first thought was appendicitis. An abdominal drain was put in to drain off the expected infection with an appendectomy scheduled several weeks later. The abdominal drain, however, produced no signs of infection but rather a kind of mucous and I was sent on to a specialist in Seattle who diagnosed the problem as mucinous neoplasms of the appendix, basically a tumor of the appendix
that was producing a mucous-like substance that would in time strangle my organs and that could also have been cancerous. I had surgery on May 9 and had my appendix, part of my colon, gall bladder, omentum and peritoneum removed and was in the hospital recovering until May 24th (15 days). Thankfully, there were no signs of cancer.<br />
<br />
While recovering from the surgery at home I ended up back in the hospital the end of June with blood clots in left leg and in my lungs. After spending several days in the hospital and being prescribed blood thinners I was sent home again and began the recovery from that problem.<br />
<br />
Then the beginning of August I was back in the hospital, first in Bellingham and then after being transferred, in Seattle, this time for an obstructed bowel, the result of scar tissue. That stay lasted a week before the obstruction cleared and again I was sent home and have been home since gradually regaining my strength.</p><p>As a result of the surgeries and lengthy recovery I retired and we moved to Spokane, Washington, to be near our handicapped son. <br /></p><p>The only native orchids I photographed in 2017 were a couple of orchids in Hyalite Canyon, Montana, and Yellowstone National Park. We went on a family vacation to the Black Hills in July while I was recovering from surgery and bloodclots and we took two of our grandchildren back to Washington with us for the rest of the summer, stopping in the area of Bozeman, Montana, for a few days. My father grew up in that area. We also went on to Yellowstone National Park with them before heading to Washington and I photographed a few orchids in both places.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Hyalite Canyon, Montana <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Platanthera dilatata var. albiflora</i> (White Bog Orchid)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Our 2016 native orchid season was considerably abbreviated by a trip to Australia, so we saw only a limited number of the species we usually visit and did not accomplish much of what we had intended for the season. The high point was finding in Washington a species we had seen elsewhere but not in the state, <i>Listera</i> or <i>Neottia borealis</i>, the Northern Twayblade. True to its name we found it in the northernmost parts of the state.<br />

We also looked for and found again some rarities, particularly the natural hybrid of the two varieties of Fairy Slippers, the Eastern and Western Fairy Slippers, Kostiuk's Hybrid Fairy Slipper, <i>Calypso bulbosa x kostiukiae</i>, and the white form of the Western Fairy Slipper,<i> Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis fma. nivea</i>. Both of these were growing where we had found them previously and seemed well established in those locations.<br />

We found some new sites for the Western Fairy Slipper and for the Early Coralroot, <i>Corallorhiza trifida</i>, the latter especially important since it is not common in the state of Washington. These sites were on both sides of the Cascades and proof that the species is adaptable and quite widely distributed, though it is here near the southern end of its range, being much more common as one moves to the north. <br />

We missed a lot of species, however, and will have to look for some of them next year. As always are plans are to look for new locations and to find in the state of Washington the species we have not yet seen there, especially <i>Dactylorhiza viride var. virescens</i>, the Long-bracted Green Orchis, and <i>Platanthera obtusata var. obtusata</i>, the Blunt-leaved Rein Orchis, and we have locations for both within the state.Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02396895652310296971noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622428321840240802.post-91697576242091935332016-08-08T09:14:00.003-07:002016-08-08T09:14:34.430-07:00An Alien Species in Larrabee State Park<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Friday, August 5, I visited Larrabee State Park south of Bellingham to see how the Broad-leaved Helleborines were doing. Due, I suspect, to the dry summer we've had some were already finished and others were just starting to bloom and in one location there were very few to found, though they are usually abundant in that location. Epipactis is not a New World native but comes from Europe. It has, however, established itself across the USA and Canada. Here are the photos I was able to take. <br />

Saturday, July 30, I was down on Whidbey Island at Deception Pass State Park to look for several orchids there. I found three <i>Platantheras</i> (formerly <i>Piperias)</i> and one <i>Goodyera</i> in bloom. <i>Goodyera oblongifolia</i>, the Giant Rattlesnake Orchis, was just starting to bloom. The three <i>Platantheras</i> were at different stages of their bloom seasons. <i>Platanthera elegans</i>, the Elegant Piperia, was nearly finished. <i>Platanthera transversa</i>, the Flat-spurred Piperia, was still good but past its prime, and <i>Plaatanthera elongata</i>, the Long-spurred Piperia was at the peak of its bloom. The latter species was also more abundant than usual, with hundreds of plants and several large colonies. It should be noted that all the <i>Piperias</i> are now reclassified as <i>Platantheras</i>, though I prefer the old names since they are so distinctive.<br />

While at a youth camp near Pend Oreille on the Washington Idaho border, I hiked into the hills back of the camp and found a number of Long-spurred Piperia (<i>Platanthera elongata</i>) in bloom. This rather common species has recently been renamed - it was <i>Piperia elongata</i>, but I prefer the older name since the <i>Piperias</i> are very distinctive.<br />

<br />
Traveling to eastern Washington, I did some hiking in the area of Sherman Pass in Colville National Forest. I was looking for the Northern Twayblade, <i>Neottia borealis</i>, a plant I had seen many times in the Canadian Rockies and never here in Washington. Using GPS coordinates given me by a friend, I found it at the peak of its bloom right along the trail, about a dozen plants and growing with it, the Early Coralroot, <i>Corallorhiza trifida</i>, though that was very nearly finished blooming. Later, continuing my trip, I stopped along the road to photograph a large colony of the Stream Orchid, <i>Epipactis gigantea</i>, and some Sierra Rein Orchis, <i>Platanthera dilatata var. leucostachys</i>, growing with them. The star of the show, though, was the Listera, a first for me in Washington.<br />
