Photography : Showy Lady's Slipper Orchids
Beautiful Things : Showy Lady's Slipper Orchids I use to frequent the flower shop in Western Ottawa and they use to call me "Orchid Boy". Now I just seek them out in the wild to enjoy their great beauty. Above photo is of Showy Lady's Slippers ( Cypripedium reginae ) at the Purdon Conservation Area, Lanark, Ontario, Canada. Every year there is a super bloom of these beauties in the fen where the right amount of water is provided for these most delicate flowers. There is only one other location I have come across this beautiful orchid and that is the Nopiming Game Sanctuary, Arnprior, Ontario, Canada shown below.
