An interesting answer from Donna. We have, in Nova Scotia, 4 species of =
Cypripedium. Pink Cyp. acaule, which grows only in Acidic soil and =
Yellow Cyp. pubescens, Ram's Head Cyp. arietinum and the Showy Cyp. =
reginae. ALL of the latter3 are found only on Gypsum in N.S. Yellow =
Lady's Slippers are relatively easy to transplant BUT as Donna says, add =
some Lime. Pink Lady's-Slippers are impossible to replant with more than =
1 or 2 years success and will eventually die. If replanted in the proper =
soil with others of it's ilk, Iam not sure. I have never heard of that =
being tried before.
All terrestrial Orchids are specific to their own species of =
Mychrhohizal Fungus and will not be able to feed from other species.
