Hey wally!
I love the fairy slippers, they are perfect little Orchids, and are very picky where they grow.
I think we call them Deer ticks, they could carry Lyme disese, but its not too common in my area. I still don't like to see or feel them.
Nope, the mountain range I am in is very close to the Volcanic Cascade mountain range, and I am sure some ash fell here from eruptions to the east, but the range I am in is a very old worn down range called the Klamath mountains, its close related to the non-volcanic Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
The soil isn't too bad in many of the scattered small valleys(although they often have bad clay problems), but the hills have soils with a tendency to be acidic and poor in Calcium and Nitrogen, but often very friable.
