Shirley Mitchell has a Rattlesnake Plantain, Goodyera oblongifolia, on her land. She was lucky that the Deer didn't eat it, as they do the few similar plants we have on our land. It recently was in full bloom.

This tiny orchid is hard to photograph! Shirley photographed it several weeks ago, before the small white flowers opened up.

If you look at the leaves, you will see why this plant got its common name.

Thanks to Shirley for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

We are having warm to hot weather on the Mendonoma coast today.
