This is the puttyroot orchid (Aplectrum hyemale) in the Scifres-Meier woods at Celery Bog Park. Look closely and see the leaves that stay green through the winter are now dead on the ground. A single stalk rises up and the flowers are at the top.
This picture was taken May 20, 2009.
This plant isn't easy to find. So far as I know this is the only Aplectrum in this woods. Here is a link to the previous post on this orchid:
