32. CALYPSO ORCHID (Calypso bulbosa) 1999.5.28#220. I think this is one of the most beautiful of all north american orchids. Fairly common but in Alaska though I have seen many locations decimated or wiped out. These were shot at King Mountain campground on the Glenn Hwy. This is one of those places where the orchids are dwindling now. Scanned & repaired from old film stock.
