Question
found in the woods of Mendon, Ma near a brook I think this is a Purple Fringed Orchid.
Answer
Dear mxi2018, good afternoon. You have indeed collected a member of the Platanthera psycodes complex. The image doesn't allow me to determine whether or not this plant is P. psycodes or P. grandiflora, but you are on are the right track. Beautiful plant.
