On June 5-8, 2017, we participated in the Native Orchid Conference symposium (the 16th annual symposium) in Scanterbury, Manitoba, Canada. We had two days of presentations and two days of field trips, one of which took us to Brokenhead Wetland Reserve. Here is a sample of all of the wildflowers and orchids we saw at this site.

The first location on this day was Baker's Brook Bog, located about 10 km (6 miles) north of Rocky Harbour.

Last year, I had seen images of Dragon's Mouth orchid from this bog which had colored petals and a white or almost white lip. My friends Neil Jacobs and Jen Modliszewski had found some really nice specimens there. That is what I was looking for...

I cannot say that our visit to Rocky Harbour bog was uneventful. It took us more than five attempts to find our way through the thick woods between the highway and the bog -- a distance of only a hundred meters or so. Eventually, we plowed through and had to wade across a wide stream before reaching the bog.

But, we ended up adding a new orchid to our trip list: Malaxis unifolia or Green Adder's-Mouth orchid.

We were to see several other orchid species in this bog before we finally made our way out across a dilapidated foot bridge. A fun time was had by all...

The two places we would visit on this day were Parc Boutte du Cap on Cape St. George, and Kippens Bog near Stephenville. Parc Boutte du Cap is noted for its towering cliffs, fierce winds, and Yellow Lady's-Slipper orchids in the thousands. Kippens Bog is a large but little-known bog in the village of Kippens, just to the west of Stephenville. It is known for the large number of multi-flowered Dragon's Mouth orhids. What a day we had photographing these beauties...
