Ponthieva racemosa (Hairy Shadow-witch orchid) with attached pollinia

With fall approaching, it is time to get back down to the coast to shoot a few images of the fall wildflowers and the Hairy Shadow-witch orchid in the Francis Marion National Forest.

I managed to capture some of each as well as a few butterfly images and a respectable collection of chigger bites...
