Cypripedium calceolus var. parviflorum
I've been watching a nice patch of these Cyps. growing no more than 30' off of a well traveled thoroughfare here in the Michigan thumb area for three years now. They are particularly small but well colored.
Cyp. calceolus was the first wild orchid species I found here in Michigan and is still one of my favorites. I've now found and photographed over 20 species.
Sorry for the blades of grass in the foreground of the second photo.
