Not a norchid.. but interesting plant!
Thanks for the help, Brian. I agree. It was at a nature center in a forested area.
Consider Limber Honeysuckle, Lonicera diocia for your ID

Lonicera sempervirens isn't known from Michigan and has completely different flowers

I was thrown off by the petals being in the state of dying back.
