  Don't think this is an orchid.

  I think this is a Marsh Helleborine Rich. The flowers/buds/ovaries have fallen off leaving the bracts. You can see the leaves near the base.

  Pretty sure it is. I've seen Marsh Helleborine in this condition quite a lot late on in the season.

  Was stumped by this but I agree with marsh helleborine: seen spikes like this just never without any flowers.
