Goodyera pubescens (Downy Rattlesnake Plantain orchid)

Late this morning, I went back up to the Pisgah National Forest just north of Brevard, North Carolina to check on the possibility of Three-birds orchids being in bloom. I did not see anything of those I wanted to photograph, so I looked around the area, a bit.

What I did find nearby was three other neat orchids: Downy Rattlesnake Plantain orchid, Northern Slender Ladies'-tresses orchid, and Crane-fly orchid. These were in pretty good shape, so I spent some time with them...
