I'm not the best at identifying our various tiny, wild Orchid species, but I think I'm right in saying this is Goodyera repens. A macro shot to to show these tiny, hairy flowers. Seen at Brown-Lowery Provincial Park on 9th August.

I was thrilled to get to see several plants of the Lesser Rattlesnake Plantain last year. It's rare in Calgary - this one was growing out at Griffith Woods. This tiny wild Orchid grows in damp woods. The common name may refer to the native tradition of using the plant to heal Rattlesnake bites. The very small flowers are white or greenish.
