That was me! I suggested rattlesnake plantain!

I actually think it's something different. Someone else suggested a "rattlesnake plantain" and I looked it up and that's what it is

You're welcome. After getting the correct ID for a spotting, it would be great if you could add the common name and scientific name into the spotting, so it is no longer an unknown spotting. Thanks.

Thank you so much! My dad actually found it

Holy! Awesome spotting riley. This is an orchid. I deleted my first suggestion because I was able to find out which species this was, to give you a more exact ID. I would love to find one of these. This is also perfect for the Wild Orchids mission. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8564480
