Sparrow's-egg Orchid

Sparrow's-egg Orchid
About nine of us spent the day at the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, at Bow Valley Provincial Park. The main focus was on birds of the area, but we were surrounded by wildflowers and insects, too. This provincial park is an amazing area for flowers at this time of the year. Lots of wild orchids, for a start! Not sure what the temperature was, but somewhere around 30C. A couple who were walking in the area told me about a small cluster of these uncommon Sparrow's-egg Orchids along the bank of a tiny stream in the park. I've only ever seen them once, and that was at the only location in the city, so I was very happy to see them today.
