Mountain Lady's Slipper
Cypripedium montanum

Only found is southwestern Alberta and southern British Columbia at high elevations in moist evergreen forests. There are only five colonies in the foothills of Alberta.

Flowering occurs in June to July.

Height is up to 60cm.

I was happy to find this species, since it's only found in a few areas in Alberta.

Hi,Janice. Nice capture of this Mountain Ladies slipper which I must admit has some resemblance to a slipper. Nice depth of field to isolate one of them. Thanks for sharing.

WOW thanx for this information..I found em right next to the road in waterton near town (about 10 plants) myself a couple of years ago, was the first orchid I found on my trip to canada in 2014, didn't realise it was this rare.

hmm looking back at my own pictures mine seem a lot darker..the sepals and petals i mean

Beautiful species, Janice. Well captured. Perfect exposure to bring details from White.
Thanks for showing with useful NOTE,
