I believe the id on this is correct, but am open to suggestions. I find these green Platantheras very hard to sort out. These were growing in a very wet area along a stream in full sun:

You're inspiring me to seek out a group in my area of NY State that goes wild orchid hunting. The variety you've been posting over the last several weeks is astounding.
Keep them coming !!

Thanks, Bill. Hope you join them. We've never had so much fun as with the Washington Native Orchid Society - going on their field trips.

Great shot Ron. I'm no help on the ID but I trust your instinct. You really do post some beauties.

I agree, great shot. I can't help with the ID either I'm afraid.
