There is a large boulder on the Shelburne River above Keji that has a large= bouquet of Lady Slippers on it. Cyp. acaule I persume. Dozens of flowers t= he last time I was there. There doesn't look to be any soil on the rock - I= didn't disturb anything to find out - they are fed with the leaves that fa= ll in autumn. Its a long trip by canoe - perfect for folks who need to impr= ove their paddling skills! Really different from Kent county soils. Thanks again Paul .--- On Wed, 6/12/13, Carl Munden <carl.munden@ns.sympatico.ca> wrote: From: Carl Munden <carl.munden@ns.sympatico.ca> Subject: [NatureNS] Ladys-Slippers To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Received: Wednesday, June 12, 2013, 7:25 AM An interesting answer from Donna.
