plant's leaves like a wild orchid but no flower...weed?

I have about six lof these plants growing in my shady flower beds with my hostas. The leaves and stalks are around 16 inches high with a long narrow cluster of "seeds" at the top flopping over. The leaves are beautiful like lady's slippers or some type of ornamental grass or wild corn. I have looked everywhere and can't match it to anything I have found. Please identify it for me.

Welcome to the Helpful Gardener forum! It's nice to have you with us! :)

Does that image host provide a way to increase the size of the pictures, so that I can see some detail? I clicked on the "zoom" icon, but the picture stayed the same size. :(

I need to be able to see the pattern of veining on the leaves, among other things. Without that, I have no idea what the plant might be. Sorry! :(

Thanks! That helps. :)

Unfortunately, the plant doesn't jump right out at me as something I recognize offhand, so I'll have to do some research. Someone else may pop in with an answer for you right away. In the meantime, I'll keep looking to see what I can find. :)
