I found this shrub in the Niagara Glen, near Niagara Falls, Ontario.

It is growing right by a rock, back from the river. It's most likely a garden escapee of some sort.

It's only about 2-3 feet tall.

Photos taken in early July.

Here are 4 photos of the same type of tree, sent to me by a website visitor.

This photo shows the overall shape and form of the tree.

Also we see that it is indeed a tree, and not a shrub.

An orchid that I am unsure of.

Photo was taken late June in southern Ontario.

Location is in a wet area, almost a bog.

• I think it is Platanthera clavellata (called Habenaria clavellata in Newcomb p.44). In English it goes by Green Wood Orchis in Newcomb, Club-Spur Orchid in Goodban's Regional Species Checklist, Green Fringed Orchis in OPL. (DG)
• I'm pretty sure that this is Liparis (CR)

I have tentatively identified this as a Northern Green Orchid. However, I am unsure, and I seek confirmation of this (or correction!).

This photo was taken at the side of a road, next to a bog. The orchid was growing on the side of the road, not in the bog.

These photos were taken in mid-July,. southern Ontario, near the town of Arthur.

• yes, P. hyperborea (CR)
