Battus philenor (Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly) pollinating Platanthera ciliaris (Yellow Fringed orchid)

Another day trip to the Pisgah National Forest near Brevard, North Carolina. Having seen the Yellow Fringed orchids coming into bloom the week before, I had to get back up there to catch it in full bloom. Lots of flowers to choose from on this visit to the Forest. Also saw some Carolina lilies in their full glory along the roadside.
