2020 has not been a good year for native orchids, mostly because of covid. We have not been able to do the hiking we usually do and many of our hikes have been in areas that were not shut down but had few or no native orchids. We did manage a hike in the North Cascades to Heliotrope Ridge near Mount Baker but saw only three orchids, a Twayblade, which we saw along the trail and two Platantheras, which we saw at the traihead in a boggy area.
Neottia cordata var. nephrophylla (Western Heart-leaved Twayblade)
Platanthera stricta (Slender Bog Orchis)
Platanthera dilatata var. dilatata (White Bog Orchis)
