Just returned from a great trip to Toronto, Niagara Falls area and San
Francisco/Sacramento.

I was looking forward to seeing some native Canadian species in flower and
managed to find these ones. I believe they are Cypripedium calceolus var
parviflorum but welcome correct ID.

These were growing in a garden on a property located on the outskirts of
Toronto. They had been rescued from a development site. They were truly
beautiful and I am surprised that we don't see more photos of the native Nth
American species posted here.

Come on you Americans and Canadians, get into the forests/fields/swamps and
photograph some of your beautiful species.

More photos from the trip to follow once I get over my jetlag.

Cheers

John
