Most of these pictures are of cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens so i'm putting in the cyp forum. I'm still uploading pictures so some aren't showing yet
After leaving Lime Hollow the other day, I headed to the Labrador Hollow Unique area to see how the yellow ladyslippers and others were progressing. I found a few heartleaf twayblade orchids open and emerging, and a good number of yellow ladyslippers open with many still to open. Though other places seem to have plants emerging and opening much earlier, this wet and cold area seemed to be right on schedule. There may be less yellows up and flowering this year, but I saw many old seed pods from last year, and many small seedlings coming up through the moss
heartleaf twayblade; tiny!
a lot of twayblade flowers look like little people!
this poor flower suffered before opening, ouch!
shy youngsters yet to open
I noticed this year that many of the flowers have lateral sepals that stick out like
yosemite sam's moustache
lots of seedlings around the colonies this year. also saw lots of old seed pods from last year
front of nice colony, many just opening
