Aplectrum hyemale (Putty root Orchid)

More from the same area I visited a couple of weeks ago. This day, we found about a dozen of these orchids in bloom. That's a good population of them in about a 20-foot circle...

This particular shot is of the seed capsules from last year. This is a good sign -- the native pollinators have been at work making for the next generations of orchids...
