Frog Orchid

Frog Orchid
Also known as the Long-bracted Green Orchis, not nearly as nice a name as Frog Orchid, this species is very common in the Canadian Rockies and this example was photographed in Jasper National Park. Its common name probably comes from the resemblance of the lip to the back legs of a jumping frog, but a bit of imagination is needed to see it It's botanical name is Coeloglossum viride var. virescens.

Great find! The flowers are so unassuming they'd be easy to miss... Wonderful shot, too =)
