Downy rattlesnake orchid, Goodyera pubescens

Downy rattlesnake orchid, Goodyera pubescence, is shown above with last year's dead flower spike seed head in Maine yesterday.

When in bloom in August, this orchid has white flowers loosely-speaking a bit like Autumn lady's tresses.  My thanks are due to John Mattor for showing us this fascinating foliage of this New England orchid.
