Thanks Birdlady - Looking at plants and mushrooms has added something special to my hiking.
Great spotting Jean! I would love to see these orchids in bloom for myself. Thanks for showing them to me - almost in bloom - at Manning Park last month. I will link my spotting to this one if I ever get it edited and posted!
