Flowers of the orchid-like plant
Photo: flotsam50
This plant has emerged for the second year now in our garden in the Pacific NW. It has red-spotted strappy leaves and racemes of pale lavender flowers with darker purple banding which resemble the blooms of some orchids. Is it an orchid, or something else?

About this Plant ID Gallery
There are many reasons why gardeners--even seasoned ones--need help identifying a plant now and then. Maybe you inherited a garden during a move to a new home, received an unknown division from a friend, found a random volunteer in the corner of a bed, or lost plant tag. Maybe you knew once, and now you just can't remember.
Luckily, Fine Gardening readers are here to help you ID unknown plants in your garden.
Get help with plant identification--post a photo in our Mystery Plant Gallery now.
