Northern Yellow Lady's Slipper

We found these (with help) growing by the thousands along the Fraser River in British Columbia.

This is the Fraser River, but not hear Chiliwack - it's where the Fraser and Robson Rivers come together near the juncition of the Yellowhead #5 and the Yellowhead #16 at Tete Jaune Cache. I wouldn't be surprised, though, that these might still be found in the mountains around Chiliwack.

Oh wow, never would have guessed they would be found near Tete Jaune Cache! Great photos by the way Ron!

Thanks for the compliment. It's worth the trip to the area just to see these.

Sweet! Great photos. We don't get to see many western natives.

Cheers.
