Cypripedium acaule, pink lady's slipper.
One sepal of the outer perianth whorl is uppermost in the flower. The
other two sepals are scarcely visible behind the two similarly colored
petals of the inner whorl. The third petal is highly modified and forms a
pink pouchlike labellum at the bottom of the flower. The column is colored
similar to the petals and has a flap on each side where each of the two
stamens are attached. Wisconsin - 1969 |
