Cool pics, thanks for sharing them. I got curious about this species because it looks so different from any of the Spiranthes species I'm knowledgeable, but there's practically no information online about it.

The closest I could find is Spiranthes acaulis, which is an old synonym for Sarcoglottis acaulis, but none of the photos online look like your plant.

Thank you for the message they are our native plants.

can't they be habenaria more than spiranthes ?

Doesn't look like any spiranthes I've seen either..spiranthes that I know have no evident leaves on the spike, leaves are basal.

I was thinking it looked like a Platanthera sp. or close relative.

Definately not Spiranthes. Flowers would be in a very noticeable spiral pattern.

Have you tried looking here:

Good info! That's Habenaria monorriza.
