Getting Native Wild orchids?
I would like to keep North American Native Orchids. How do you get into this? Where can you find some? Who keeps them? Why don't we have more native plants?
It seems kind of silly that most of our orchids are from all other parts of the world but right here in the USA alone we have amazing native Orchids. Have they made it into breeding programs?
If you have any I would love to hear about how you got them. I would love Photos too.

I am looking at the Cypripedium californicum the Cali Lady slipper. Why is this plant not being saved by orchid enthusiast? It is an endangered plant here in the USA. Our own native plants die off while we keep these hybrids. I want to do something about it but how?
