An unusually pale version of Calopogon oklahomensis (Oklahoma grass pink) Orchidaceae family. Observed by members of the Missouri Native Plant Society during their quarterly field trip - this trip was to visit various prairies of the Springfield plains.

Earlier that same day at Niawatha Prairie the more common deeper blue/pink version was seen.
