This, I believe, Is the Common Spotted Orchid, Dactylorhiza fuchsii. We saw many of these on Black Mountain when we hiked there, but this photo was taken at Castle Espie, a nature reserve on the shores of Strangford Lough. We visited there last week Friday.

This is one of three orchids we saw along the trails as we backbacked in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park. It is the Eastern Fairy Slipper, Calypso bulbosa var. americana, found from the Rockies to the east coast.

orchidea - Platanthera bifolia

primavera nel Vallese: a 1600 metri di altidudine sulle Alpi Valaisannes si trovano ancora orchidee.
Non sono entusiasta delle mie foto, ho avuto poco tempo a disposizione; le posto ugualmente giusto per la cronaca.

La Platantera comune occupa una vasta gamma di habitat, che comunque sono luoghi freschi e ombrosi come i boschi (con preferenza dei boschi di aghifoglie), gli arbusteti e i prati e le praterie rase subalpine e alpine. Si può trovare fino a 2000 m s.l.m.

Spiranthes porrifolia

RHH has posted:

These Ute Ladies' Treeses were photographed along the Illinois River in Oregon. All the different Spiranthes species are known as Ladies' Tresses because the flowers are "braided" around the flower stem. This species is found in a few locations in Washington but is much more common further south.

Epipactis gigantea

RHH has posted:

These Stream Orchids were photographed along the Illinois River in Oregon. They are the only native Epipactis species and are also known as the Chatterbox because the lip "chatters" in the lightest breeze, moving up and down. The lower flower has a bee on it which later crawled under the column and flew away with the pollinia.

Slender Bog Orchid

RHH has posted:

This was the only orchid we saw during our time in Glacier National Park, but spending time with family was more important than looking for wildflowers. This is the Slender Bog Orchid, Platanthera stricta, found and photographed near Avalanche Lake..
