Question
I came across this plant on Starr King Trail in New Hampshire. I tried looking it up ,but had no luck identifying it , can you help ? Thank you , Dan
Answer
Dear Dan, your plant is Platanthera grandiflora (greater purple-fringed bog-orchid). This is an uncommon, native species that is found throughout much of New England. Beautiful image.
