DescriptionA detailed look at one year in the life of Pink lady's slipper (Cypripedium acaule). These images and narrative can help to accurately identify the plant during different seasons of the year.
It now make sense why the reviews on sites where the rhizomes/roots of these plants are sold to often turn out negative. The plant needs the fungus to fully establish itself to grow properly, without it, the orchid suffers or fails to grow.
