Mountain Lady's Slipper - Orchid Board

ronaldhanko · #1 07-03-2010, 11:02 AM

We are in Alberta at the moment visiting our daughter, son-in-law and new granddaughter, but travelled up through BC and saw seven different native orchids on the way up, including two Lady's Slippers. This is one of them, the Mountain Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium montanum, photographed near Dunster, BC.

A diary of our trip with many more photos can be found at:
