hi I have not seen this tiny flower since I was a child, I recall my parents telling me it was a Lady Slipper, and that they were very rare and to never pick one. I have looked on the web and have not been able to find out more info on this beautiful little flower. I found this flower all alone just off a game trail on my property. I live in Smithers, North Western BC. Thank you
thank you, now searching the web armed with the correct name, I see this flower is also referred to as a Fairy Slipper. This is the name I recall as a child.
