Continuing our trip through Washington, Oregon and northern California, we visited a favorite site in California where we photographed both the Few-flowered Rein Orchis, Platanthera sparsiflora, and the California Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium californicum, both of which have a decided preference for wet, serpentine soils. We found both in abundance and also found a few Phantom Orchids, Cephalanthera austiniae. At a site in Oregon on our way back we found Epipactis gigantea, the Stream Orchid or Chatterbox.
