Question
This plant was found in Hanover, NH near an ephemeral wet area. Using the Simple Key, I'm guessing it is a north wind bog-orchid, but it doesn't quite match some of the photos. Is there another option that I'm missing? Thanks for the help!
Answer
Dear kasmus.nh, good afternoon. I can't see the pollinia well enough to be certain, but it looks very much like Platanthera aquilonis (north wind bog-orchid). The plants will vary in the density of the flowers, making it look really different sometimes. Best wishes.
