Small Round-leaf Orchis

This is Amerorchis rotundifolia, the Small Round-leaf Orchis, not found in Washington but very common in British Columbia. These were photographed near Tete Jaune Cache but were well past their peak. We would see them again in Alberta in much better condition, but I thought I'd post these anyway. The species is only about six inches tall and is closely related to the European genus, Orchis, the only American species that is so closely related.
