White Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium candidum) - larger, darker clone

This is a larger-flowered clump that we found today on a wonderful photographic/pollination outing. Note also the much darker-than-usual sepals and two petals. More photos on the pollination event will follow eventually.

Photo taken on May 25, 2009, Le Sueur County, Minnesota.

For close-up photos of this clone, see this set from chlorophil7.

For many more photos from this wild orchid colony, taken over several years including some of the visitors (including human pollinators), see this set.
