I've been wanting to paint this ladyslipper from our NH property for a couple of years. Finally started working on it. We still have snow on the ground, but I've been dreaming of spring. How about you?

Two pink flowers are blooming in a forest. The plants are Pink Lady’s Slippers. Pink Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium acaule Aiton) is a large, showy wildflower belonging to the orchid family. It blooms in the Adirondacks from late May to late June. Pink Lady's Slippers are found from Saskatchewan to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia; south to South Carolina and Georgia; west to Alabama and Tennessee; and north to Minnesota. This plant is listed as endangered in Illinois and Tennessee and unusual in Georgia. Pink Lady's Slipper grows in a variety of habitats. In the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, this plant can be found growing on well-drained sites, often under partial shade in conifer forests. Pink Lady's Slipper also grows under hardwoods and in Mixed Wood Forests. It is typically found in acidic soils. It can also be seen on the edges of swamps and bogs.

“The Journey Home” The Legend of the #LadySlipper, an #Ojibwe (MN) story about a girl who journeys across a snowy landscape to bring medicine back to her village, she loses her moccasins, leaving a trail of blood in the snow, the footprints bloom into lady slipper flowers the following spring.

I found this growing along a roadway in the ditch while diving into town to pick up some supplies. So Cool !!🕊️
Mountain Lady’s Slipper (Cypripedium montanum), grows in moist, open coniferous, deciduous, and mixedwood forests, as well as forest openings in montane regions.

Lady Slipper, at the Alaska Botanical Gardens. These little flowers look like they’re about to give you a hug. #alaska #anchorage #alaskabotanicalgarden #ladyslipper #flower #flowers #flowerphotography

A photo of a lady slipper orchid, which has white upper petals and a lower "slipper" shaped bulbous thingy that is pink with white striations. It is a side-profile photo and there is green grass in background.

I am always excited when I stumble across these beauties. 🌸📸

Summer’s last pink lady slipper. Taken a few years back at Artist’s point, Grand Marais. A complete surprise, this late bloomer was holding on to her showy petals while all the others had already faded away.

June 4, 2025. A close up photo I took of 3 white Lady Slippers. The Ojibwe people call it the Ma-ki-sin-waa-big-waan or Moccasin Flower.

The Ojibwe people named this Ma-ki-sin-waa-big-waan, or Moccasin Flower.

Listen to Nana Boozhoo of the Ojibwe people from Minnesota, tell the story of how the name of the Makisin Waabiqwaan came to be:
