Just posted including some habitat photos. This is Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis, the Western Lady's Slipper.

Thanks for looking and commenting, Tindo and Prem. Prem, if you come out this way I'll personally take you to see them. They're in bloom at higher elevations until June.

They've become almost as much of a passion as the orchids I grow indoors.
