Calypso bulbosa
The Calypso orchid (Calypso bulbosa), also known as the fairy slipper or Venus's slipper, is a perennial member of the orchid family found in undisturbed northern and montane forests. It has a small pink, purple, pinkish-purple, or red flower accented with a white lip, darker purple spottings, and yellow beard.
It is the only species currently classified in the genus Calypso, which takes its name from the Greek signifying concealment, as they tend to favor sheltered areas on conifer forest floors.

Cornus unalaschkensis
Western cordilleran bunchberry, bunchberry
Linda M pointed out (June, 2008 Mountaineers Naturlists Camp) to us that the flowering plants have six leaves, whereas the rest have four. THis one has only four leaves - but only two large leaves - whereas the bunchberry with no flowers do seem always to have four large leaves - well, something to investigate
