Brownie Lady's Slipper
 

Love the name on this one - fits perfectly. It's one of our unique northwestern native orchids.

i wish i had cool plants like this around here!

There are a large number of native orchids in your area. I'd see if there's a native orchid society or native plant society and ask for locations. I know, for example that the New Jersey Pine Barrens have quite a few native orchids.

thanks for the info...ill give it a try!

Way cool! :nod:

Thanks, Susanne.
