Neat. There are some pretty brainy people on here who know their flora,, I'm sure it will turn into a great thread. Welcome to AO.

I have seen this flower before in the wild and wondered if it was a member of the orchid family or not.

Could be wrong but looks like a Striped Coralroot or Hooded Coralroot. I believe there is also a pure yellow variety.
