Hi Carl & All Apr 29, 2013 =20
C. acaule, as you apparently have not noticed, is stemless. Pink =
Lady's Slipper is somewhat of a misnomer because some have white =
flowers. Therefore Common LS is to be preferred.=20
One may take it for granted that green leaves in light will generate =
photosynthates. Pink or white flowers will not and they, like all living =
plant tissue, burn photosynthates. Consequently they are a drain and =
decrease the export of photosynthates into underground storage organs =
for use in the coming year.=20
Leaves of plants that emerge late (some plants skip a year entirely =
!) may grow late in the year. But I think you will find that leaf growth =
of flowering plants and early emerging non-flowering slows to a crawl or =
stops before mid July (a guess, as I have never measured this because =
the question is trivial compared to others; such as what animal [slug =
perhaps] eats most leaf parenchyma over large areas in some summers ?).=20

If the flower is picked or not picked it makes no difference. If you =
watch ALL Cyp. acaule plants AFTER flowering including ones with no or =
broken stems, you will notice that these plants get larger and larger up =
until end of season. Is this not caused by the plant continuing to =
photosynthesize ??
