Pink Lady's Slipper





I scanned a couple of slides that I took of a lady's slipper in the 1980s. Since then I have only seen these flowers in the wild on three or four occasions. The first three images are from scanned slides and the others are digital images I made in July, 2002.

The pink lady's slipper is not a common wildflower here in Newfoundland and Labrador, but since it is the provincial flower of Prince Edward Island, I assume there are lots there. Someone told me that there were yellow lady's slippers growing in the St. John's area, though I have never seen them. If anyone living in Newfoundland and Labrador knows where I can find the yellow variety, please let me know.
