A group of fairy slipper orchids (Calypso bulbosa) growing in the wild. The photo captures several pink and white orchid flowers with distinct elongated petals and a detailed, patterned interior. They rise on slender stems above broad green leaves, surrounded by leaf litter of the forest floor.

I've got a lot of writing to do this week! I photographed and identified six wildflowers that will be added to add to my Alaska Wildflower Guide. Cat and I saw some interesting stuff along the lower Granite Tors trail yesterday. Hopefully, I'll have some more photos later today or tomorrow!
Flowers are dwarf marsh violet (Viola epipsila) and fairy slipper (Calypso bulbosa), both already in my Alaska Wildflower Guide: https://www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-wildflowers/
