The flowers can also be blue or purple.
Side view of Calypso flowers.
Yet these spectacular flowers are very small!
Calypso are easily missed while walking in the woods. Here is a human eye view of a Calypso plant. Small!
The flowering stalk is sometimes accompanied by a single leaf.
This leaf grows during the fall, stays over the winter under the snow, and dies off after or during flowering.
A nice view of the flower along with the single leaf.
