| On my way home from a bog monitoring & exploration, I stopped by the usual spot. And as usual, it had recently been mowed and the orchids were gone. Fortunately there are a few areas that don't get mowed. |

 |
|
| Yellow {Orange} Fringed Orchid (Platanthera ciliaris) This plant was actually about 20 miles to the west, although still along Hwy 180! |
|
 |
|
| Platanthera ciliaris The plants were just beginning to flower, so none were in full bloom. |
|
 |
|
| Slender Ladies' Tresses (Spiranthes lacera var. gracilis) I didn't see as many as I recall, but you never know with orchids... |
