Spotted Coralroot Orchid
Had a devil of a time trying to figure out what this was and then Richard from Michigan set me straight. The parasitic orchid Spotted Coralroot (Corallorhiza maculata) was fruiting in Algonquin Provincial Park was celebrating 125 years. Beaver Pond Trail, Ontario, Canada.

''Corallorhiza maculata'', or spotted coralroot, is a North American coralroot orchid flower. Varieties are also known as western coralroot and summer coralroot. It is widespread through Mexico, Guatemala, Canada, St. Pierre & Miquelon, and much of the Western and northern United States . It grows mostly in montane woodlands.
