This is a journey through a tamarack swamp bog in the effort to find a 100 count wild Lady Slipper patch in Central Minnesota. It was a success! It was a fun hike in the middle of know where.
These orchids can be found in swampy bog areas throughout Minnesota. Along the north shore of Lake Superior, in the boundary waters of Ely, and down by Winona. But only if you know where to look :) There are about 50 species of Orchids in North America and these take about 16 years to produce there first flower. Be aware: Don't pick them or risk jail as it is illegal!

This is really interesting! I kinda expected you'd be showing Cypripedium Reginae (Minnesota's state flower), but these are Cypripedium Acaule which usually is a more southern species. Here in Virginia these are flat out common, you can find these most anywhere with little effort. They typically grow in pine areas, I've never seen them growing in wet conditions like these are. That is a true sphagnum bog your in. We also have Cyripedium Parviflorum var. Pubescens (yellow lady slipper) but it is not nearly as common as the pink. We also have a number of other orchid species here that are common (not slipper types). Also... the mutation you found 'Cypripedium Acaule 'Alba''... very very rare! I've only seen this a couple of times in my fifty years of native orchid hunting!

These are the adventures a person has to squeeze in before the bugs get to nasty. Once the deer flies are out, forget about it!

Nice video! You probably meant to say that "there's actually about 50 species throughout" the world, not America, right?

More like 10-17 years to bloom. I know because I have some I purchased legally from a nursery. The bloom rate is highly variable. The plants themselves could feasibly live beyond 50 years easily. They are like ginseng and other deep forest plants. If you can set up growth conditions for them, I recommend planting some.

She is wearing a GoPro HERO7 White. I am using a GoPro HERO7 Black. I would recommend the black for sure! The white is so limited compared to the black. shop.gopro.com/cameras. Thanks for the positive feedback to!! :)
