Magical to see...Cyps in the wild...good to see some form of educating the public and with a guided tour and a board walk to protect their habitat.

Tony the ground looks bone dry,was it?

[Tony Willis]

Maren

we were having lunch down a side road and there were dozens all along the edge,just going over.

Yes very dry.

Very mild winter and no rain,the bog we visited to see sarracenia was dust dry in parts.  Cyp reginae was in flower there but too far away to photograph.

Another day another cyp

Cypripedium reginae in a ditch near the hotel

[Stephen Vella]

Wow Tony that's a pretty nice ditch...looks to be growing with a western red cedar?? did you notice the mulch cover, do they grow in sphagnum moss?

[Tony Willis]

Stephen

it its growing in dense vegetation of grass, ferns, dwarf firs, and other herbs. Not wet but damp. It is difficult to see driving along as only the flowers are visible above the  greenery

[daveyp1970]

Tony,what a sight that must be to come across.I can't wait for your report.
