Ragged Fringed Orchid

Found this little orchid growing near my daylilies today.  As w/ all orchids, it's solitary and therefore not easy to find unless you are looking for it.  However, it isn't scarce.  It is common throughout the eastern half of the North American continent.  A common pollinator are moths including the clearwing hummingbird moth.  Would love to get a picture of that!  However, I'm happy to just be able to find this little flower at all.
