RHH's photos with the keyword: cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens

This is the Yellow Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens. It was photographed near Tete Jaune Cache in British Columbia. Most of the flowers were finished and this one is nearly finished, but the color was still good and the crab spider was an additional attraction. We've been away on day trips - trying to take as much advantage of the summer as possible, thus the lack of posting. Monday I hiked the Yellow Aster Butte Trail - ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2010/07/yellow-aste... - near Mount Baker with a friend and Thursday my wife and I went "orchid hunting" in the Olympics.

Photographed near the Whitehorn campground on the Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia.

This was published in the April, 2011, issue of Orchids, the magazine of the American Orchid Society, in an article titled "Taking Aim."
