Piperia elegans ssp. elegans

Piperia elegans ssp. elegans, coast piperia. This Piperia has flowers that are mostly white, although with some green areas. They have a heavy, musky fragrance, but you have to brave the poison oak to sniff the flowers. Most of the Piperia orchids I've seen and photographed at Coe are Piperia elongata; their flowers are much greener.
