Several years ago on mothers day, I took my mother for a walk through the woods looking for Lady Slippers. She had been telling me stories of her childhood, when lady slippers were very common in the woods. That day we found a whole patch of them! What a wonderful mothers day that was, we talk about it often! And since that day we have only found 1 or 2 even though we have searched every year since! I would love to buy some plants or seed if I could find them!

Lady slippers are a terrific discovery. Thank you for sharing what you learned about the seeds. It’s definitely a good move to leave them where they are! (Even though it would be awesome to just scoop them up and take them home, you’ve done well resisting the temptation.) In fact, I just did a recent blog post about propagating other types of orchids. http://www.orchidcarezone.com/orchid-propagation-the-1-method-for-successful-orchid-propagation/

For anyone considering trying to grow their own Pink Lady Slippers from seed, check out http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/pink_ladys_slipper.htm , a site I happened to find when doing research for my own northern garden. This information brings home just how delicate our ecosystem is and why we don’t see these flowers everywhere. I feel guilty now for the wild flowers I used to pick for my Mom when I was a young girl. I really had no idea of the damage I was doing. I now encourage kids to draw me a picture or describe to me what they’ve encountered, and leave the flowers for everyone to enjoy. NOTE: For those like me who think they need to write this site down long-hand, simply highlight it and then right click on it, then use the cut option. When you need to recall it, simpy right click again and use paste or copy option. Aren’t computers wonderful? I hope this was helpful for someone out there, and best of luck growing your own Pink Lady Slippers.**Pat Amero- Yukon, Canada

Does anybody know where I can buy lady slipper flowers? Yellow or pink or both.
Thanks, Roger

My friend kathy Puckett is a genius with plants and has added several lady slippers to her garden. It doesn't hurt that she has a neighbor who grows these commercially. .-= commonweeder´s last blog ..November Muse Day 2009 =-.

I didn’t find any lady slippers on my walk yesterday in the rain! I would like to try planting them. I’ve got a crew of students in a vocational education program (greenhouse) who could do the fussing that these seeds probably need to germinate. Does anyone have any seed we can try? We’re a nonprofit organization.
