The Cedars (near Cazadero) is a land of contrasts — extremely dry and rocky cliffs along with incredibly clear creeks and pools:
Below are examples of two orchids that grow along the stream banks.
California Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium californicum):
The amazing leaves of Purple-leaf Stream Orchids (Epipactis gigantea f. rubrifolia):

Excellent pictures. Some of the sharpest and true-color I've seen of the burgundy leaf stream orchid there. Thank you for sharing your talents.
That pool with the little waterfall!
