Cypripedium guttatum (Spotted Lady's Slipper).
We went to see if any Anticlea elegans (Mountain Death Camas) flowers are blooming at the Grapefruit Rocks area and we encountered a huge surprise!
We found another kind of lady's slipper orchid.
When I looked up the latin name for this species of orchid, I found out that this species also grows in Japan. But it is really rare and evaluated as a critically endangered species by Ministry of the Environment there, so they fenced its habitat in Akita prefecture in north-eastern part of Japan.
On the other hand, here, we found them right by our rig parked.
5月末にトチナイソウを見つけたGrapefruit Rocksにまた行ってみたら、これまた別のアツモリソウの仲間に遭遇しました。
これまた、とめた車のすぐ脇で予期せず発見しました。
学名を調べると、日本でも秋田県のごく一部の地域に自生するという「チョウセンキバナアツモリソウ」と同じもののようです。
