The Calypso Orchid is a delightful tiny native orchid that grows in Trione-Annadel SP. Often difficult to spot, Paula is an expert at finding them and pointing them out! Explore the wonderful world of orchids and other Spring Treasures in Trione-Annadel State Park with Paula Phillips Marks! Pause for lunch, then discover what there is to find along Steve’s “S” Trail on the way back. We will look only with our eyes and harvest only with our cameras, and leave everything for the next park lovers to see.
