I spotted another orchid in the forest earlier this week. The orchids are so small that I almost missed them. The plant is 20 to 55 cm tall but the flowers are tiny at 5 to 10 mm. I have cropped one of my photos to show you the flower.

* Edit: the name of the flower is Spotted coralroot (Corallorhiza maculata).

A *super* bright bolide fell over Vancouver Island, BC early this morning and was visible here in #Seattle. Here are videos I got from some of my meteor cams:
