For some reason, this post (and some other posts) was shown it had not been answered when I logged on. Agreeing with Mike on the genus.

Maybe a species in the Spiranthes genus (ladies’-tresses). Check out the included link for species Spiranthes lacera (slender ladies’tresses), click on images to enlarge. Best wishes! https://gobotany.newenglandwild.org/species/spiranthes/lacera/
