Thanks, Fren. It was taken in British Columbia between Tete Jaune Cache and Prince George.

It grows in most of the northern and northwestern counties of California and along the coast and in the mountains down into the central part of the state. The USDA's distribution map can be found here: California County Level Distribution for Cypripedium montanum (mountain lady's slipper) | USDA PLANTS
Actual locations are something you'll have to come up with by talking to someone who knows.

awesome! hard to tell for sure from that map - but it looks like they could possibly grow in my county! I'll be looking into this further - thanks Ron!


well - looking now - not sure if it actually grows here, but - well I'll look further into it ...

Thankfully, there are still places here where they are relatively common.

This is one of my favourite slippers. I would love to be able to see them in the wild like you.
