This week I came across the beautiful orchid, the Pink Lady Slipper. It's been a flower that I have only heard much about, but never seen until now. I have heard of places in NC and one place in Warren County in particular that encumbers over a hundred in one area.The flower is currently in full bloom and can be found on the forest floor. The orchid perfers highly acidic soil, so commonly found amongst the pines. If your interested in finding this beautiful flower, good luck, but remember it is illegal to transplant the flower. It is also difficult to transplant because the Lady Slipper requires that a fungal mycelia to be present in the soil.
