Searching for Cypripedium candidum

[The Orchid Boy]

I'll admit that I pollinated 1 blossom in a different spot. I knew the exact location of these more so than the others. They were the only ones I could locate in the tall, tick infested grass.

Going back to follow the plant's life cycle was thorough of you - kudos. It is very satisfying to see seed capsules in wild populations, a sign of hope for the future. You photos also help dispel the notion that this species grows in full sun.
