2007-05-19 Weekend trip to the Green Swamp, NC

2007-05-19 Weekend trip to the Green Swamp, NC. A good time for spring orchids and other unusual spring wildflowers. Very windy day made for some difficult photography shots. Lots of my favorite genus, Calopogon -- this time of year, it is Calopogon pallidus in many different color forms.
