Join us for an exploration of the stunning native orchids found in Rocky Mountain National Park!
Did you know a variety of orchids make their home in and around Rocky Mountain National Park?
It's true! Orchids aren't only found in the tropics - they're hiding in plain sight across RMNP and Colorado. In this course, participants will learn about orchid terminology, characteristics of the orchid family, the symbiotic relationship to fungi and other plants, the history of orchid uses, and the different species found in and around RMNP. We'll spend half the day discovering where these captivating plants are hidden in the park, and the other half in an illustrated lecture on all things orchid.
