Spiranthes praecox (Grass-leaved Ladies'-tresses orchid)

Day 1 of 2 results of a mid-May trip to the Carolina Coastal Plain. Day 1 was spent with good friend, Jeff Jackson in the Francis Marion National Forest, Berkeley County, South Carolina. We were able to find a number of flowering species -- a couple of rare ones, to boot!
