Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis

Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis
The Calypsos (Calypso bulbosa) or Fairy Slippers are the first of our native orchids to bloom and they are in bloom one again! My wife and I went to Washington Park in Anacortes Monday to see and photograph the Fawn Lilies (Erythronium oregonum) but learned from a friend that the Fairy Slippers were also in bloom, quite early for them. We found them well into their bloom season and spent the day photographing them and the other wildflowers for which the park is famous. This is the Western Fairy Slipper, easily distinguished from the eastern variety by the white beard and brown-spotted lip.

Oh RON, this is a beautiful picture of these gorgeous flowers! I haven't seen them for a couple of years, not since I was using my previous camera, and now you are making me yearn to find some to photograph, so I can take some proper pictures. Lovely job here!

Note: I just looked at my 4 pictures, and I actually DID get a nice picture, even with a camera that struggles with the concept of bokeh! In fact, you left me a note about that picture, which I remembered! :) If I could get a decent picture with my old point and shoot...just imagine...*sigh*... looks like I took them at the end of May and beginning of June so I will make plans to get out there and find some more! :D www.ipernity.com/search/photo?w=290645&q=fairy+slipper

Thanks Ron, for inspiring me every day with your outstanding photography! :)
