Description
"A Lady's Slippers" by Debbie Oppermann. The Lady Slipper Orchid, Cypripedium acaule, is commonly called Slipper Orchid, Lady's Slipper and Mocassin Flower. It is a red/pink hollow pouch shaped flower with a deep cleft in the centre that blooms in summer in wet areas, dry or moist woods and usually under oak or pine trees. It is native to Ontario and cannot be transplanted or it will not survive. It is disappearing in the wild partly due to attempts to transplant and also die to habitat loss and intrusion by people who want to view these beautiful flowers.
