White lady's slipper is an increasingly rare native of North America. Please don't pick
them or try to transplant them!
Identification: These small, rare, delicate plants are 4-14″ (10-35 cm)
tall, with 2-4 roughly oval-shaped leaves 1¾-6″ (5-15 cm) long. Each stem supports a single white
slipper-shaped flower,
sometimes with purple markings,
1-4″ (3-11 cm) long. They do not grow in acid soils, but prefer alkaline
bogs and fens or meadows, such as those near limestone.
