I was happy to come across some of these beautiful little Calypso Orchids on 10 June 2011, when I drove out west of Calgary to the forest around Maclean Pond, Kananaskis, off Elbow Falls Trail. They are such exquisite wildflowers! Unfortunately, a single flowerhead doesn't quite fit into a macro photo, but at least it does result in a blurred background (and in this case, a rather blurry flower, too, lol!). Towards the end of May, on the annual May Species Count, we always hope that these small, delicate Orchids will be in bloom. Sometimes, they are surrounded by snow, so they must be pretty hardy little things. It's hard to imagine seeing any kind of flower after the last six months of snow and ice on the ground!
