Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens

No, no, you're wrong. It's within 5 miles of any orchid nursery!

 

yeah... when i moved out to hollywood, i had to go door to door telling everyone i was an orchidarast.

'whats an orchidarast, colin?'

shut the __ up, donnie

 

So i went out to this nice little spot on the potomac river about 20 minutes from the house to see if i could find any native orchids (and if not, i atleast enjoy walking around the woods in the rain!). no luck, but there were some good times to be had, and i actually allowed myself to be photographed (it doesnt happen often) - so now you will know the looks of the crazy orchid guy when you see him (me) walking down the street.

 

The natives are in a bit of a blooming lull for a few weeks. May find some foliage, though.
