Lady's Slipper Orchid (Mocassin)


Lady's Slipper Orchid (Mocassin)

The stem grows from the bud at the tip of the rhizome. Most slipper orchids have an elongate erect stem, with leaves growing along its length. But the Mocassin Flower (Cypripedium acaule) has a short underground stem with leaves springing from the soil.
