Don, Have been so busy lately. Hope I thanked for grass ID and Bulbo. from
Arthur.
We have Platanthera hookeri. Not as many as years ago, because of changing
light conditions. They came in heavily where selective cutting came. As
trees have filled in. P.hookeri has gone out. But I still see them here and
there./ They suffer slug damage also, so in a wet year suffer. They are
eaten by deer also. Gale
