This "lady slipper " orchid is an exception being a fairly showy flower for a northern or temperate orchid species. These plants grow in woodland areas . I used to know where there were stands of thousands of these things then one year I went back to see them all in flower and to my surprize the area they were was all suburban housing. allan

PS:the color of this photo is lousy , its really a much more vivid pink then it seems here.
