[coconinocycles]

it's true - 13 species in Coconino county alone, with extra species along the mogollon & the white mountains.....they are going off right now, and have a small window of blooming......woods cnyn lake seems to be the epicenter, as the flowers from the coconino plateau blend with the white mtns & the tonto region. top pic is Corallorhiza maculata from Schultz pass and second is Calyso bulbosa from an undisclosed location near Flag............enjoy! all pics by Denise Garro....reference: "the wild orchids of arizona & new mexico - Coleman" Steve Garro, Coconino Cycles.

ooooo...pretty flowers.

Hopefully I'll see some up by woods canyon next weekend. I'll impress my lady with new found orchid knowledge.

Nice! Speaking of the same, it was nice running into Denise and crew out by Bismark Lake today.
