| Description |
I noticed some lady slippers in bloom the other day while out jogging so I went out this morning to the Brunswick Commons (a town park) where they grow and saw perhaps a hundred or so along the trail. Here are a couple. A rarer and showier pink and white variety is the state flower of Minnesota--my home state. Pink Lady's Slipper is an interesting wildflower in the Orchid Family. They are endangered in some areas because they take a long time to grow, and because people collect them. This plant has only two leaves. They are green and branch out from the center of the plant. A single flower stalk also grows from the center. The deep pink flower, which many people say looks like a slipper, grows about three inches long. Unlike most flowers you see, this flower is closed tightly except for a small opening in the front. Pink Lady's Slippers grow in shady forests under pine trees, oaks, Red Maple, and Sweetgum. Some other plants that grow alongside them include Greenbrier and Sassafras. Pink Lady's Slipper is a food source for several insects and White-tailed Deer [a website} |
