Found a Pink Lady Slipper in my backyard woods! (Westchester, NY)
I am so excited, I see a few other shoots around without flowers, hoping they will pop up this year or years to come. As much as I want to take this plant, I wouldn’t dare touch it!
Nice find!! It’s always so exciting to stumble upon them. And good for taking a picture to keep them with you instead of digging them up.

So pretty 😍 😍 I almost bought one but it’s too expensive to buy without knowing it will do well in my yard. Side note Reddit award’s are back?!?!?

Seems to be [Cyp. acaule](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypripedium_acaule) which is also the state flower of New Hampshire and provincial flower of Prince Edward Island, Canada! It’s native to your neck of the woods, too (literally 😂). I had no ideal they just grew like that in the woods on the upper east coast, no less!
