This is a very pretty, wild Orchid, called Hooded Ladies'-tresses. The tiny flowers grow in a spiral and look like a braid, hence the common name of Ladies'-tresses. This generally uncommon, native wildflower grows in wet woods, wet meadows and bogs. This plant was growing fairly near the edge of the Elbow River in the Weaselhead natural area.
