Cypripedium montanum (Mountain Lady's-slipper orchid)

This beautiful orchid grows in the same area as the Spotted Coralroot orchid and Striped Coralroot orchid. They were in great shape, scattered in singles and groups of almost a dozen flowers. Quite a wonderful slipper orchid. And imagine finding this growing wild out in the deep forest...
