Arethusa bulbosa (Swamp Pink or Dragon's Mouth orchid)

Got word yesterday about the blooming of Arethusa bulbosa in Transylvania County, North Carolina! It has not been seen there in more than 15 years, so this is a wonderful sighting. I made it up to the location and got a few images of the two plants just before we were assaulted by a severe thunderstorm. All worked out in the end...
