How about a Lawn Orchid
I saw this Orchid at DuPuis Management Area one winter afternoon.
I didn't know what it was until I got home. I wish I got better shots...

I personally like lawn orchids, even though they're not native...their annual habit makes it hard for them to be much of a nuisance...here this year, over there next year...it's hard to crowd out other native vegetation that way.

I had the honor of being the FTF (first-to-find - a geocaching term) a lawn orchid in Leon County, Florida, growing nestled under the bushes near a church building on the east side of Tallahassee. I've also been the FTF for two other species for Leon Co. (Platanthera ciliaris and Platanthera flava).
