RHH's photos with the keyword: sparrow's-egg lady's slipper

Also known as Franklin's Lady's Slipper, this was one of the few orchids we saw in Alaska and these were well past their peak, though we found enough good flowers to photograph. This photo is my wife's taken along the Richardson Highway near Thompson Pass. The Sparrow's-egg Lady's Slipper is not found as far south as Washington but is common further north in the Canadian Rockies and in Alaska.

This lovely slipper is not found in the state of Washington, but only further north and only in Alaska and Montana in the United States. This plant was photographed in Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia. More pictures can be found at: nativeorchidsofthepacificnorthwest.blogspot.com/2010/09/s...
