Calypso bulbosa (L.) Oakes
20090519.1
Wells Gray Provincial Park, BC
This is a particularly fine year for calypsos for whatever reason. There was less snow than usual, but it was much colder than usual, then it was quite hot for a while in April... then there has been a ton of rain recently. One or more of these conditions apparently favors orchids! But not morels, sigh.

The species was first formally described by botanist John Lindley in 1839 in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony.
