Great video! I don't think I've ever seen a pink lady's slipper in person. I'll have to look for it.

Great video! I found a few groups of these on a trip to Northern Georgia a couple years ago.

Love the way you explain everything in a calm soothing voice 👍

Brilliant video. There are hundreds in my backyard woods. Should have pulled that dead leaf off, so that the flowers leaves could get _some_ sunlight.

It now make sense why the reviews on sites where the rhizomes/roots of these plants are sold to often turn out negative. The plant needs the fungus to fully establish itself to grow properly, without it, the orchid suffers or fails to grow.
