Or maybe Castilleja raupii.  Can't enlarge photo enough to see details (aside from the fact that I suck at Castilleja identification anyway.   :P )

Me too. However you can find a list of Alaskan Castilleja on the USDA website:
http://plants.usda.gov/java/stateSearch

Maggi, it does not look like my C. miniata which are bright orange-red (although pics coming up on Google images suggests they vary). C. raupii looks a candidate as does C. parviflora.

Beautiful genus and under-represented in gardens. I'd love to try some more species.

I am in Cordova, Alaska and yesterday we hiked up to Crater Lake.

Can anyone tell me what this plant is please?

I'm not a Castilleja expert either, but there is a chance that this is Castilleja parviflora, there are herbarium specimens in the Consortium of Pacific Northwest Herbaria data base from the Crater Lake Trail. I'm not seeing any records of C. raupii from any closer to Cordova than about 250 km, it appears to mostly be more of an interior rather than coastal species. C. parviflora is a very variable species, you can find photos of it and many others on Mark Egger's Castilleja page on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mark_egger_castilleja/collections/72157617709816218/

Superb images Ian!!!

Could the bog Spiranthes possibly be Platanthera dilatata (Tall White Bog Orchid, Bog Candle)?
My P. dilatata flowered recently and looked similar (but much less spectacular) to the plants you photographed.

Steve you could well be correct - I am no expert on orchids especially as I am still tired from such a full on two weeks in wonderful Alaska and have not done all my research and confirmation on what I saw yet.
