Photo taken in Vermont in a local forest area. June 10, 2009. The Pink Lady Slipper, or Moccasin Flower, is a wild, rare and endangered orchid that blooms in Spring. Usually the first week of June these can be found in certain locations in the wild. This photo was taken in a pine forest area in Vermont. “Take only pictures, leave only footprints” – (unknown to me at the moment whose statement that is, if anyone knows the direct source, please let me know). / / “Cypripedium acaule is a member of the orchid genus Cypripedium. Members of this genus are commonly referred to as lady’s slipper orchids. First described in 1700, Cypripedium acaule is commonly referred to as the Pink Lady’s Slipper.[2] The Pink Lady’s Slipper is the provincial flower of Prince Edward Island, Canada, and in Nova Scotia, Canada it is considered endangered and is protected by law. If the plant’s blossom does not cycle through, it will not regenerate; for this reason, it is recommended that the flower not be picked. An alba variety exists which has a white lip instead of a pink one.” This information was taken directly from “Cypripedium acaule” found in Wikipedia online. Canon DSLR

Arkansas Wild Native Orchid ORCHID FAMILY Lady’s slippers are a genus, Cypripedium, of flowers belonging to the orchid family, Orchidaceae, and distinguished by their slipper-shaped pouches (modified labellums), which function by trapping insects so that they are forced to climb up past the staminode, behind which they collect or deposit pollinia. / Ladies Slipper, also called Indian Moccasin / The lady’s slipper is known in the United States of America as the moccasin flower, from its resemblance to a shoe or moccasin. These gorgeous Orchids take 7 years from seed to bloom. / Because of logging, and population these flowers are loosing ground fast, and are at the brink of extinction! / Most are found only in protected areas, and in national forest. This one is preserved on a 10 acre plot of rich forest land I purchased in 1993 just for the preservation of its flora, and fauna. / This is my most prized flower in my what i like to call my forest yard. It is an extension to my garden, and yard, and is kept from any signs of humans, and most of all logging!! / I take great pride in its preservation as a natural area! This preservation area holds many hours of satisfaction for me, and will be preserved in its natural beauty as long as I draw breath. / / Never, ever pick one if you do see it in the wild, and never try to transplant it. It most suredly will die!! Blooms mid-spring in NW Arkansas, approx bloom size 2 inches from top to bottom, and the entire plant is around 12 inches tall.

Featured in Endangered Plants – July 12, 2009 / Featured in Endangered Plants – February 19, 2009 / Featured in Endangered Plants – December 3, 2008 This beautiful Manitoba wildflower is hard to find, but thanks to my living in the eastern woods in Manitoba, Canada, I know where to find them in the spring around June. Cypripedium acaule (Orchidaceae) – Also known as “Pink Lady’s-Slipper”, this native orchid prefers acid soil such as is found in pine woods. They bloom in late spring. The Lady’s Slipper is known in the United States and Canada as the Moccasin Flower, from its resemblance to a shoe or moccasin. Manitoba has 37 species of wild orchids, plus a number of distinct varieties within certain of the species. There are orchids in just about every kind of habitat in this province, from wetlands to boreal forest, and from tall grass prairie to the tree line. The Pink Lady’s Slipper is a herbaceous perennial with thick fibrous roots. It has two large, basal leaves; that is, the leaves seem to grow from the base of the plant, next to the ground. The leaves, up to 20 cm long, are strongly veined, elliptic in shape, and are thinly pubescent (have a thin covering of short hairs). They are a medium green in color and may have lighter colored spots. A single flower stalk arises from between the two leaves growing to as much as 40 cm above the ground. Each stalk produces a solitary flower. The large (3 – 6 cm long), inflated lip of the flower (the slipper part) is usually dark pink in color, but the shade will vary, and white varieties are known. The sepals and petals surrounding the lip are usually reddish brown, but may be tinged with green. The sideways pointing petals are twisted into a spiral. Loss of native orchid species and their habitat is a significant environmental problem in Manitoba as it is all over the world. Habitat loss is the primary threat to native orchid species. Most of our orchid species grow in or adjacent to wetlands and Manitoba has lost 70% of its wetlands since 1900. Another critical orchid habitat, for our three endangered species, is the Tall Grass Prairie. We have less than 1% of our Tall Grass Prairie remaining. Agriculture and housing development, resource extraction such as logging and mining, and wetland drainage are all major causes of habitat loss. Failure to thrive, including an inability to reproduce sexually due to pollinator loss, disease and environmental stress, are all related to habitat loss and/or modification.

These hand sewn moccasins…....were over 100 years old. Only used for ceremonial dancing…..the young girl who was wearing them had received them from her grandmother…who recieved them from HER grandmother…and so on. / The beading would fall out…be sewn back on…the stiches would fall apart and be restiched….the leather would wear holes…and be patched…but…their history would live on thru the generations. / This was this young girls first Pow Wow that she was finally dancing in. She was so excited she could barely breath. She and her mother spent weeks prepairing her regalia just for this day. Her mother told me about her choice of colors and designs….orange and black being the main choices…and the choice of flower. / Please visit this link to read how the flower was chosen… / :http://www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/lore130.html:

Moccasin or Lady Slipper flower found during Spring in wooded areas of New Brunswick, Canada. These are found along the border of the forest on our property and they are a joy to find in Spring. There are yellow Lady Slippers as well, but they are much smaller and look almost waxy. © 2009 Anne Hale. /

Photo taken at Black Bayou Wildlife Refuge in Monroe, Louisiana. There is only one North American poisonous water snake – the Cottonmouth Water Moccasin! Not to be confused at all with its many nonpoisonous neighbors, this snake is a pit viper in the same general family as the Copperhead and the Rattler. This dangerous semi-aquatic snake is truly an aggressive reptile that will stand its ground or even approach an intruder. The Cottonmouth derives its name from the habit of lying in a sprawled coil, head flung back, with the mouth resting in an ominous open position exposing the white inner surface of the mouth almost straight up. This ‘Cottonmouth’ or ‘trapjaw’ can snap shut with lightening speed instantly when touched, and can deliver a large venom dose to prey or victims alike!

This water moccasin was in a swamp in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. Snakes get such a bad rap no thanks to the bible. This snake gapped and gapped and never once struck. I even turned it over to photograph the underneath of a water moccasin. While not all snakes can be handled this way, each has its own personality, some strike and strike, usually immature snakes, but they all will act differently. I just wish the ignorance about them could be abolished.

The Cottonmouth Moccasin ( The main subspecies included in the genus Agkistrodon are the Western Cottonmouth, piscivorus leucostoma ) The Cottonmouth derives its name from the habit of lying in a sprawled coil, head flung back, with the mouth resting in an ominous open position exposing the white inner surface of the mouth almost straight up. / Make no mistake, the Cottonmouth is a dangerous predator and can inflict a brutally damaging hemotoxic bite! / Regional variations do occur, so never handle a water snake of any kind for fear of a nasty, bacteria-rich or venomous bite!
