Orchids and redwoods

It's Calypso bulbosa season in NorCal! Not the best quality because they're taken with an iPhone..

Goodyera pubescens (?) are not yet in bloom

Very nice, ty for sharing. I think that's g oblongifolia

I've not yet seen the eastern c bulbosa, on edges of their habitat they are very hard to find since they seem to be receding north (and I keep moving further south for work )

Thanks all!

Yes, I think you may be right that it's G. oblongifolia.

There're some pretty cool orchids down south as well though : ) Sad to hear they're receding north.. the reality is that most orchid habitats are probably shrinking more and more

Ah… Calypso. Such amazingly beautiful little plants! That definitely is G. oblongifolia. What's odd is you can see this species in the Great Lakes area and even northern New England. Thanks for posting!
