Mountain Lady's Slipper

Mountain Lady's Slipper
This beautiful Lady's Slipper does not, in my experience, grow on the west side of the Cascades, but is quite common on the east side, if you know where to look for it. It is the Mountain Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium montanum, this example photographed in Blewett Pass, south of Leavenworth, Washington.
