July14-16 we were in Olympic National Park for some hiking and sightseeing. 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.
Epipactis gigantea (Chatterbox or Stream Orchid)
Piperia (Platanthera) elegans (Elegant Piperia)
Neottia banksiana (Northwestern Twayblade)
Piperia (Platanthera) unalascensis (Alaskan Piperia)
Platanthera dilatata var. dilatata (Tall White Northern Bog Orchis)
Platanthera dilatata var. leucostachys (Sierra Rein Orchis)
