Also known as Franklin's Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium passerinum is found for the most part north of the US-Canadian border, though there are locations in Montana. These (ncluding the insets) were photographed in Kootenay National Park in British Columbia. They are often difficult to photograph since they tend to grow under bushes and in heavy brush.

While in Edmonton last summer a friend too me out orchid hunting for a day and this was one of the native orchids we saw and photographed. This is Cypripedium passerinum, the Sparrow's Egg Lady's Slipper, or Franklin's Lady's Slipper. It has small flowers, around two inches across and is quite common in northern regions, though not found at all in the state of Washington. These were starting to fade, but the flower below, photographed on another occasion in Mount Robson Provincial Park, is fresh and new.
