Pink Lady's Slipper Orchid -- Cypripedium acaule
Family Orchidaceae (Orchid family)
This species is similar to our yellow lady's slipper orchid, but is apparently restricted
to the mountains of eastern Kentucky and northward. It grows among pine needles in the oak-pine
forest of the hills, and is quite rare.
