Question
I’m trying to id this orchid. I found it on our property in Cabot, Vermont. The area is moist and fairly well shaded. There are eleven plants in total. I have uploaded images of the base of the plant, as well as the flower stem. Quality may not be the best, as I used my phone camera. Many thanks for your help. Ruth Dirlam
Answer
Dear Ruth, good late afternoon. You have photographed Platanthera aquilonis (north wind bog-orchid), an uncommon but not rare species of orchid in New England. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
