Default Piperia transversa
I posted a similar native species a couple days ago. Here are both of them for comparison:

Piperia transversa, the Flat-spurred Piperia


Piperia elongata, the Long-spurred Piperia


And a link that shows all five our native Piperias:

The difference in these is really cool, your photos show it really well.

Both are lovely - but I especially like the long spurs!

Thanks, Sonya - they are really unusual, perhaps the most unusual of our native orchids.

They are wonderful, I think like Sonya though I slightly prefer the ones with longer spurs. I love that your pic shows the cobwebs on them, really out in the wild

Native orchids have become almost more of an obsession with us than the orchids I grow.
