It's so nice to see someone is rescuing, propagating and returning to nature native orchids. Thank you for your hard work.
I have the good fortune to actually have some Goodyera and some Cyps growing right on my property, adjacent to a large state forest. We get very few hikers, but are alert to anyone who might try removing them. So far the only people who've noticed them are content to enjoy them and leave them be.
Quite a few years ago, my sister moved into a new development and actually cut some pink lady's slippers and put them in a vase! I did recently start speaking to her again.
