Originally found in southeastern North Carolina, these Grass-pink orchids (Calopogon tuberosus - white form) are the last of the Grass-pinks in the bog garden to bloom. They did well this year, and are just about past peak even though there are a couple dozen more buds to open.

I believe this particular flower has a touch of C. pallidus in its ancestry.

This particular flower is definitely a cross between C. tuberosus and C. pallidus with intermediate characteristics of both.

It is a bit unusual to find this species with more than one flower in bloom at the same time.
