| Calypso orchid |
The calypso orchids and chocolate lilies are blooming on Vancouver Island.
These ones were seen today (May 06) on the north shore of Comox Lake.
Wild orchids and lilies are extremely fragile. They do not transplant. In fact, the simple act of picking the flower will kill the plant. Do not handle.

Beautiful flowers! Amazing that they grow wild and survive.

Thanks Anneli. Yes, we are lucky to have them on the West coast. Few things on the forest floor are as striking as the bloom of a wild orchid or wild lily viewed from up close.
