Observed along the stream wooded area.
I saw literally hundreds of flowering plants here, but throughout the warm, sunny morning I saw not a single pollinator. I watched the halictid bee in the main photo rest on the pouch for a minute or so and then fly away. Later on, I observed the same bee species apparently trapped inside the pouch of a different blossom, but I can't believe these bees could be effective pollinators of this orchid.
