Despite living in Flagstaff for over 30 years, it took an article in the Arizona Daily Sun by Tom Bean to inform me that 5 different species or orchids (yes, I said "orchids!) can be found on the San Francisco Peaks. To celebrate the beginning of my summer break, I headed up Abineau Canyon in search of these rare flowers. To my surprise and amazement, I found two: Spotted Coral Root and Calypso!
