    Hello! I was gardening the other day when I saw this plant (VT Mettowee Valley). I had seen them the previous year as well, but everything grew up before I could see them flower. They were found in a wild upper floodplain meadow dominated by goldenrod, Carex sedge, Joe Pye weed, sensitive fern, hedge bindweed, angelica, and goutweed. My mind went to the guess that they are some kind of orchid. Or perhaps Lily of the Valley? Thank you!
