Spiranthes longilabris (Long-lipped ladies'-tresses orchid)

We found only a few of this particular orchid species, but this one was definitely the best. It was so nice that I took shots from the front, side, and back...

This is the remainder of my flower images from the past weekend spent in Brunswick County, North Carolina. This is the location for the Green Swamp Preserve -- a local treasure managed by The Nature Conservancy. TNC performs prescribed burns and otherwise insures that this wonderful area is kept in a state that allows orchids and other wildflowers to thrive.
