After the flower dried up this is all that is left of the Lady's Slippers
near the lakeshore. Just floral bracts at the top of the stem:

Here is a furry close-up of the floral bract:

Would this indicate these Lady's Slippers were not fertilized? The few
references I looked at showed a brown almond-sized seed pod that I think
should still be on the stem otherwise?
