Hooded Ladies' Tresses

These orchids, Hooded Ladies' Tresses, Spiranthes romanzoffiana, were photographed along the trails in the Artist's Paint Pots area of Yellowstone National Park. They are very common in wet areas in the park.

On another note, my time on line will be limited the next few weeks since we are moving across the state of Washington to the Spokane area. We'll be busy unpacking and getting our new house ready during that time.
