    Just went up to Mt Washington yesterday. A little late for most of the flowers as we have had rather a warm dry spring. Did take a few shots of the later flowers. This one is neat, White Bog Orchid.

    I really like the wild orchids, they're so decorative and so fancy in their bloom shapes. :D

    I love orchids especially the wild ones. Yours is very attractive with its dainty flowers. The birds (at least I can only presume it was them) have dropped seeds of the Common Spotted Orchid into my garden and they've grown!! I don't have much joy in growing orchids indoors but the wild one seems to like my garden. :-D

    Thank you for the messages. It is at the main area of Mt Washington, the bottom part of the ski runs, around 5000 ft.
