  3. Great shot! A very nice find. I may have to go and check to see if any of ours have “returned”. Posted 6 years ago
    1. It might be a good year for them. I also saw lots of orchids and tons of Dutchman’s pipes ( Monotropa) which seem to like similar conditions. I’m still on the lookout for fringed pinesap - another very similar plant. Posted 6 years ago
