Heartleaf Twayblade

Neottia cordata

Description:

Though it doesn't look like one when you can't see the small flowers, this is an orchid. The first two photos show one that had recently bloomed and closed. I think that plant had green flowers. The plant in the last three photos looks like it might have had reddish flowers and had bloomed a longer time ago. The stem is often red for the ones with the reddish flowers.

Habitat:

Mossy, shady ground in a spruce forest
