      Thanks- a lucky find indeed. Wouldn’t have seen these without the boardwalk cutting across the swamp. And just a few feet away! Posted one year ago

The Showy Lady's Slipper

"Cypripedium reginae", known as the showy lady's slipper, pink-and-white lady's-slipper, or the queen's lady's-slipper, is a rare lady's-slipper orchid native to northern North America. Although never common, this plant has vanished from much of its historical range due to habitat loss. It is the state flower of Minnesota.
