Corallorhiza odontorhiza (Autumn Coral Root orchid)

Spent a long day in the Pisgah National Forest near Brevard, NC and then on up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Late Summer and Fall usher in a host of colorful wildflowers, some of which (for this southern boy) are more often found much farther north. That's the very thing I like about the high elevations of the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina. That, plus the cooler mountain weather.
