Family: Orchidaceae, Genus: Cypripedium

Description:

Cypripedium acaule, also known as the Pink Lady's Slipper, is a native orchid of eastern North America. It features large, moccasin-shaped pink flowers with raspberry veins that can last up to a month. This plant grows in acidic, well-drained soil under pines and prefers shade or dappled sunlight. It is sensitive to mineral buildup, so rain or distilled water is recommended. The orchid is endangered in some states and requires specific conditions for cultivation.
