We were walking the ski slopes looking for this orchid, but we were late and only located this one which is a bit passed it.  We know where, now we just have to go back a bit earlier.

Well another year has passed and we were lucky enough to find another Green Bird Orchid, this time in Sherbrooke Forest. It was in PRIME condition fortunately; another year with a dud photo would have been to much!
