Cleistesiopsis divaricata (Large Rosebud orchid)

A long day trip down to the Francis Marion National Forest to photograph native orchids. Thanks to some well-placed hints from my friend, Jeff Jackson, I managed to locate a large population of Cleistesiopsis divaricata or Large Rosebud orchid as well as some other showy wildflowers.
