2 - A short return visit on my way back from another site - Summer 2019

Platanthera_ciliaris
I saw fewer Platanthera than on my earlier visit, and no Spiranthes.
The ROW had not been cut recently and was grown over with shrubby growth.



Platanthera_ciliaris
Most of the orchids I did see were just coming into bloom...
