Cypripedium acaule, our Pink Lady Slipper Orchids growing under pines and oaks

Cypripedium arietinum, our Ram's Head Lady Slipper growing in woods near Windsor, Nova Scotia. The rock layer beneath the soil is gysum

Platanthera lacera grows in the lawn!

And close to where I work there are the bogs with bog orchids growing in them. The most common is:

Calapogon tuberosus known as Grass Pinks or simply Calopogon

And another view.
