Platanthera huronensis

This, the Green Bog Orchid, was photographed in the area of Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta. It is one of the difficult-to-identify and small-flowered green orchids that are common in the Northwest. One of the insets shows the whole plant and the others show some closely related Bog orchids.
