Hi all and in particular D. Webster; I apparently HAVE noticed that C. =
acaule is stemless...what do you think acaule means ? I used the word =
stem because the majority of our readers are birders, entymologists or =
astronomers etc. and may not understand what "SCAPE" means. As to Pink =
Lady's-Slipper being somewhat of a misnomer, if you lived in the Gypsum =
area of Hants County, the "common" Lady's-Slipper would be the YELLOW =
one.
As to the matter of white coloured ones, they are definitely less common =
than the normal colour. There are also White Fireweeds. Do we still not =
call them Fireweed ? In all my years of Orchidizing with various people =
and all my books of reference I have never seen it referred to as Common =
Lady's -Slipper although it does have other common names in different =
parts of the country and USA.
If you think that C. acaule does not continue to grow and the leaves get =
bigger after flowering that is your opinion. I think otherwise!

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 ??
