Cypripedium parviflorum var. parviflorum

small yellow lady's slipper (Cypripedium parviflorum)

Yellow lady's-slippers are probably the best plants to start with for someone looking to get into the world of native orchids. With a yellow flower and red sepbal, it offers a great color contrast. This subspecies is short, and like all ladyslippers, deer love to eat them, so protect your new plants well!
