Pogonia ophioglossoides
This is a beautiful tiny orchid. It's common name, Rose Pagonia, describes the blossom's pinkish lavender color. Leaves can vary somewhat with some being long and slender and others slightly oval.
I found this plant growing in a bog in northern Minnesota (US).
This beautiful orchid is also known as "snake-mouth orchid."
