White Fairy Slipper


Last year we found our first white Fairy Slipper but when I returned to see it this spring it had been dug up and removed by some idiot. This spring we found four more white Fairy Slippers in another location. This one is particularly interesting because it is not a pure white form (usually referred to as an alba form). If you look closely you can see a hint of pink in the sepals and petals and there was also a very faint hint of brown spots in the lip and the coloring at the back of the lip is brownish green rather than green. A pure white form would have no pink or brown color at all. Nevertheless, because this has the white lip it probably would be classified as Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis fma. nivea, i.e., the Bulbous Calypso, the western variety, the white form.
