White Adder's Mouth
 

This thing is tiny, only a few inches tall with minuscule flowers. I photographed it last summer near Edmonton (it doesn't grow in Washington). A friend took me to see it and that was a first for me.

Wow! What a great find!

Thanks, Leaf. Much appreciated.

How wonderful Ron. very much appreciate your findings.

Thanks for the nice comments, No-pro and Hannah.

I always love to see your native orchids and compare it to our domestic plants. Would like to know how and when this genus made it over the pond,
