Last weekend Ken Hull Jerry Pedini and I went out for two days looking at local native orchid wetlands in central ny. Ken and I went out to Eames Fen, a roadside scrape, Jam Bog, a wetland at the upper end of Dorchester Lake and a spot with rare plants next to the river in Otsiningo Park (home of the spiedie festival, starting aug. 1st). There were some large thunderstorms here and there that we managed to avoid but at the end we left Dorchester just as a big storm was heading our way! We managed to outrun that storm but it and two others collided over binghamton, ny. Lots of rain ensued for the rest of the day
some images are with my iphone which blasts out white and yellow and doesn't focus very well, so some pics are better than others
one-flowered cancer-root, a parasitic flowering plant that grows along the path to jam bog, has come up the last two years
cinnamon fern, in the wet area before the open bog area
first southern twayblade pic (orchid)
listera australis amongst pitcher plants
damselfly just below left of pitcher plant 'flower'
