Description
A small gathering of this endangered orchid of the of the moist forest floor goes by many names. Calypso, Venus or lady's or angel slipper, pink slipper orchid, deer-head orchid, hider of the north. The orchid grows close to the ground, is a very small, bright colored, but still hard to see. A hiker cruising along can very well miss seeing this beautiful orchid, because it can normally only be found in old growth forest and is seldom found in young forests.

Thank you Erica for the nice comment. Many people walk through the forest and never notice, because they never look down.
