Cypripedium fasciculatum fma. purpureum

The picture I posted earlier of this species was of a very pale form. This is one of the darker forms, sometimes referred to as forma purpureum. The color forms shade into each other and are usually found growing together. This example was photographed in the Greenwater area north of Mount Rainier.
