Default Sparrow's-egg (New Blog Entry)

The Sparrow's-egg Lady's Slipper is found only in Alaska and Montana in the USA, but across Canada. It is one of our rarer Lady's Slippers.

I should have added for those who are interested that it blooms around the middle to the end of June and can be looked for at that time.

Very rare and endangered - don't know if it will grow in your area either. It's very much a northern species.

Such a gorgeous one. I'm a real fan of Cyps and love seeing pictures of them in the wild. Great pictures and information Ron.
