No - not pine drops. It's one of the coralroots, likely western coralroot - Corallorhiza maculata ssp mertensiana. It's a fairly common orchid. It's a saprophyte, that gets it's nutrition from decaying vegetation rather than from photosynthesis. It has no chlorophyll. Pinedrops (Pterospora andromedea) is readily identifiable by the persistent drooping seed pods. wave.gif
