2 July 2017 Best Round Leaf Orchid?

Work would require me to travel on the holiday so our chance of holiday fun were limited. Ali suggested Roper Hollow for a walk today. It was a good choice. The trail got a bit muddy at times. We had to deal with illegal atv's on our walk. But , the trail was tremendous.

Almost a frog

This was a really fat toad.

The real excitement came near the end of our caching day. We were at a geocache when Ali glanced over and spotted a round-leaf orchid in bloom. We see the leaves frequently. We see them in bloom occasionally, but this one was near its peak of blossom and nearly perfectly formed. It was an amazing treat on a painfully short holiday weekend.
