I only noticed two specimens, but they were in good shape at the time. They were near "Fern Glen," maybe 20 feet before the rein orchids (coming from Quincy). They're not visible from the road; you have to climb up that little hill and look around a bit. As for the rein orchids, they were just barely beginning to form buds that day. Also, the vast majority of the spotted coralroots were past prime, but a couple specimens looked like they were just getting started. Timothy Boomerhttp://wildmacro.comnoreply@blogger.com
