I took this photo on July 8 when Harry Henderson was showing me some prairie patches east of the main ones at Big Hollow. Harry had mentioned about seeing this orchid last year at big hollow in a different location. This is the first time I've seen P. lacera and its a rare form to boot. This form grows on xeric limestone derived soils, while the more typical form found in PA is a denizen of acid bogs.
