Cypripedium acaule
Hi all,
Went orchid hunting in the pine barrens of Long Island this weekend and found a good population of Cypripedium acaule. I knew they were there since I discovered them last year, but had no idea there were so many.
Took lots of pics, so bare with me.
Also in bloom were blueberries and other Ericaceous plants, but that I will put in the spring plants thread.
