Could be Spiranthes magnicamporum. Outside chance it could be Spiranthes odorata? Whichever one it is, I was surprised to find an orchid blooming where and when I found this one.

The fragrance of this flower was entrancing. I smelled it first from a couple feet away when I got down to photograph it. Then, I couldn't get enough of it, going back again and again to inhale deeply. Wish I could bottle it...
