Question
I found this in a wet area of the woods near Caribou, ME, about the middle of July. I tried to identify it and thought it could be Northern Tubercled Bog Orchid but am not sure. Sorry about the poor quality pictures...the flowers are tiny, making them hard to photograph!
Answer
Dear J, you have photographed Platanthera aquilonis (north wind bog-orchid), an infrequent native orchid that is found here and there in a variety of habitats. Enjoy the flowers.
