RHH's photos with the keyword: yellow lady's slipper

We saw and photographed these Yellow Lady's Slippers along the Lake Huron shore as we toured that area a few weeks ago.

Photographed along the upper Lake Huron Shore, the Yellow Lady's Slippers are a different variety that we see in the west. It was nice to find them as we made our way from the thumb to the bridge.

These are Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens, the Large Yellow Lady's Slipper. They were photographed near Rockport, Michigan.

We were not looking for orchids but found these Lady's Slippers along Michigan's Lake Huron shore when we were there recently.

While touring the Lake Huron shore of Michigan we found Yellow Lady's Slippers in bloom. They are the same species that grows in Washington but are much more common in Michigan.

We found these Yellow Lady's Slipper while exploring the Lake Huron shoreline of Michigan. They seemed to be quite common there.

These Yellow Lady's Slippers were photographed along the Lake Huron shore while touring there with one of our sons and his wife.

This Yellow Lady's Slipper we found and photographed along the Lake Huron shoreline while touring there recently. Notice the crab spider on the top of the pouch.

This, the Northern Yellow Lady's Slipper, is one of the orchids we looked for (and found) on our hike to Grassi Lakes near Canmore, Alberta, Canada. Grassi Lakes was one of our places of interest on our 2014 trip through the Canadian Rockies.

Here's another Lady's Slipper photographed in Banff National Park in Alberta, the Northern Yellow Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium parviflorum. Notice the little spider on one of the petals.

After traveling through Kootenay National Park we spent the night in Canmore, Alberta, in Banff National Park, and spent the next day exploring the Canmore area and hiking the Grassi Lakes trail there. It was in Banff that these photos of Yellow Lady's Slippers were taken.

After traveling through Kootenay National Park we spent the night in Canmore, Alberta, in Banff National Park, and spent the next day exploring the Canmore area and hiking the Grassi Lakes trail there. It was in Banff that these photos of Yellow Lady's Slippers were taken. They were everywhere, often in large clumps, as the insets show (the first inset photo was taken by my wife).

This would probably be classified as Cypripedium parviflorum var. makasin, the Small Northern Yellow Lady's Slipper, but it is very doubtful that any of the flowers we saw at this location were pure species. These Yellow Lady's Slippers were growing in and among Mountain Lady's Slippers, Cypripedium montanum, shown in the second photo below, and there were flowers that were obviously natural hybrids of the two species, Cypripedium xcolumbianum, shown in the first photo below. nativeorchidsofthepacificnorthwest.blogspot.ca/2013/06/ninth-week-of-native-orchid-season.html

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.
