Pink Lady Slipper
Cypripedium acaule
41.8034, -72.1297
Field Notes
Description:
Approximately 10 inches high, pink pouch. Terrestrial, temperate orchid. Spring flowering, biennial.
Habitat:
Dappled sunlight, wooded trail edge. Trail running between mixed hardwood forest and wet meadow marsh bordering pond. VERY close to trail edge on a pretty heavily traveled trail (walkers, dogs, & horses).
Notes:
Spotted 3 single lady slippers at first (where these pics were taken). About a 1/2 mile further along the trail was a patch of about a dozen in a little meadow area off the trail but closer to the pond edge (in an area less heavily traveled).
