This photoset is from hikes in natural areas in Sussex and Warren County, NJ.  I saw nine different orchids, including vegetative Epipactis helleborine, Goodyera pubescens, Gymnadeniopsis clavellata, Isotria verticillata, and Platanthera spp.  I also caught Galearis spectabilis, Cypripedium acaule, Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens, and Cypripedium parviflorum var. makasin flowering.  The latter is the fifth population of this rare plant that I've found.
