Description:

Scientific Name: Cypripedium acaule

This large showy wildflower has two opposite basal leaves with parallel veins and a large flower at the end of its erect stalk. The bloom on this orchid can be magenta to whitish-pink, whitish-pink flowers with darker pink venation, or (rarely) all white. A common name for this plant is “moccasin flower.”

The roots of this orchid were traditionally used as a remedy for nervousness, tooth pain, and muscle spasms. In the 1800s and 1900s, this species, along with other orchids, were widely used as a substitute for valerian root due to its sedative properties.

Pink Lady’s Slippers can live up to twenty or more years. This species frequents mixed hardwood coniferous forests of pine and hemlock on rocky/mossy slopes or semi-open areas in deep humus.

The soils are typically acidic but well-drained under birch and other deciduous trees. This species gets its name because of its resemblance to a woman’s shoe. Collection of this species in the wild is discouraged, but you may move a plant from your own property to your garden. Be aware they do not transplant easily.
