Cypripedium reginae
showy lady's slipper
C. reginae is considered to be the showiest of native lady's-slippers (hence the name). It has a reputation for being difficult to grow, which is mainly due to incorrect siting. Moist, alkaline soils with plenty of sunshine are essential for this rare native. Protect new plants from deer, who love to browse on these rare natives.
