How amazing they look in their natural environment! I must find out what #5 is!

Yes. The name is Cephalanthus occidentalis or Buttonbush: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalanthus_occidentalis

I would suggest S. laciniata for your Spiranthes. Your awesome photos make me want to head down to the Strand meself.
