Doug,
This appears to be Coeloglossum viride The long-bracted green orchis.
Summers doesn't list this orchid in Missouri, but it is known from Iowa and Northern Illinois, so this may be a new State orchid. The picture probably is post bloom. After blooming the flower structures stay on the plant for a long time making the plant appear to be in bloom long after it is finished blooming.
