Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis

Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis
This is a single flowering plant of the Western Fairy Slipper photographed in Sharpe Park on Fidalgo Island. The single leaf can just be seen lying along the ground back of the stem. This variety of the Fairy Slippers is found only west of the Rockies and differs from the Eastern variety in its white "beard" and mahogany spotted lip. The other variety is shown in the inset.
