White Bog Orchid
I've read that only 39 species of wild orchids can be found in British Columbia, and just 12 in Kootenay NP. Orchids are hugely outnumbered by birds: 300 can be spotted in Kootenay. Worldwide the situation is the reverse: there are many more species of wild orchids than of wild birds.
Just to convince you that spotting this White bog orchid was special ;-)
