We have dandelions. Lots of dandelions. And it’s the time of year when you run over them, repeatedly, with a John Deer and they pop up behind you. If the mower weren’t making so much noise you’d hear them laughing “Nice try, sucker!”

Wild orchid
This little gem shows up in shady groves in the Dungeness Recreation Area this time of year. It’s tiny – the blossom is no more than an inch high – but packs plenty of punch for its size. This is the most beautiful belly flower I’ve found. I had been calling it a ladyslipper or stream orchid, but it doesn’t match the real thing in my Encyclopedia of Northwest Native Plants.
Can anyone give this an accurate name?
