Spiranthes odorata (Fragrant ladies'-tresses orchid)

Spiranthes odorata (Fragrant ladies'-tresses orchid)
I have never seen such ornate flowers in this species. The lip and petals/sepals are recurved in a very pleasing way.

On the last day of our photography field trip in the Green Swamp (Brunswick County, North Carolina), we went to Rice Creek. This location is always reliable for a robust orchid species which has a wonderful, sweet-earthy scent. I could even smell these from five feet away...

This year, they were beautiful -- large flowers in perfect bloom. Even though I have dozens (maybe hundreds) of images of this species, I never tire of seeing and photographing them every autumn...
