Wetland Orchid: Greater Purple Fringed

[Greg Shchepanek]

On top of a Beaver dam I found the Greater Purple Fringed Orchid (Platanthera grandiflora) Quebec, Canada. Conservation Status: vulnerable (S3?) in Québec, CA (NatureServe).

Greg Shchepanek Beautiful flower. Looks like a difficult challenge to isolate one bloom effectively with so much going on. I have the same problem with Bee Orchids here.
