Sparrow's-egg Lady's Slipper

Sparrow's-egg Lady's Slipper
On our way to Edmonton two weeks ago we stopped briefly at Mount Robson Provincial Park and I hiked a ways up the Berg Lake Trail. My wife stayed in the car and slept with a bad headache. I went as far as the Kinney Lake campground and found a few of these, Cypripedium passerinum, still in bloom. This was very late for these to be in flower at all, but the lateness is due to our cold and wet weather.

There were also a few of the Large Yellow Lady's Slipper in bloom as well as thousands of the Small Round-leaf Orchis. There had been rain the night before and the trails were very muddy but the rain only made the flowers more photogenic. The mosquitoes were also quite bad, too, though not as bad as in Edmonton, and that made the photography even more challenging.
