I have been wandering around in the woods for years and had never seen the seed pod of the Common Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium acaule). I finally got a chance to see these hand pollinated ones on Dave Webster's woodlot when I was visiting Kentville. The captions below indicate when the flowers were pollinated: This year's capsule: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9421315671/ A fuzzy picture of last year's: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9421321525/ Two years old: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9421318019/ Since it seems C Lady's Slippers rarely are pollinated and set a seed capsule in the wild do they mainly persist as roots? And can these orchids (or others) spread vegetatively by roots or other means? Nancy
