Default Cypripedium acaule (?)
My uncle found this deep in the woods near his house! it was growing in a swampy area near wild azaleas. from googling, i think that it is Cypripedium acaule. here are some pictures! and if anyone can confrim or deny the ID, it would be awesome!

This is Cyp. acaule and it is not dehydrated. That is its normal form.
