April 11th we managed to get away for the day - our day out that week - and visited a number of sites on Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands looking for orchids and other wildflowers and found plenty of both. The day was overcast and wet when we arrived at our first stop but the rain soon went away and though the sun did not come out it was a good day for wildflower photography.
We found the Western Fairy Slippers still blooming at several locations and the Western Spotted Coralroots just starting to bloom. At one location found a few plants of the red form of the Western Heart-leaved Twayblade and at another several plants of the albino form of the Western Fairy Slipper. Along with them we found an abundance of other flowers.
