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.
