A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Ladyslipper

The pink and white ladyslipper is the Minnesota state flower. They are very hard to find here. This yellow one is growing in the woods right by our house. I thought it was neat to have that growing there.

Very pretty. I remember my grandma growing the purple ones when I was a child. I also remember being told to stop plucking them

that is very neat

what we call a wild beauty! these grow wild, and are extremely rare to find. consider yourself extremely lucky if you every get to see a live one in the wild. these will set seed but the seeds (like all orchid seeds) are too small to sustain themselves after germination, so they require a special fungus.
