Cypripedium at Local Botanic Gardens
Almost a month ago I visited a local botanic garden. C. parviflorum was growing everywhere; this pic is of var. pubescens, a specimen with over 50 flowers, each with pouches the size of a large chicken egg! The clump was about 2' tall by 2' wide. The other pic is of C. passerinum (sparrow's egg lady's slipper). This was a nice-sized clump about 10" tall, the flowers VERY tiny.
