Cypripedium parviflorum in Newfoundland

[toddybear]

Tis the season...these are plants I collected for our Bot. garden some 15 years ago. They were growing along a roadside construction site and not blooming at the time. I lucked into 3 forms but alas, not the planipetalum form that is found almost exclusively in newfoundland. The first pic is the typical local form, the second a pale form and the last a particularly dark form.

Nice variation Todd. That second pale one is a stickler - is it a true parviflorum or a mix with pubescens? Is it small flower? Sweet scented?

Thanks for the great shots.
