Long-spurred Piperia near Pend Oreille
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 (Platanthera elongata) in bloom. This rather common species has recently been renamed - it was Piperia elongata, but I prefer the older name since the Piperias are very distinctive.
