I was going through the woods last month getting pictures of flowering trees, and noticed this odd-looking flower on the ground. From a quick bit of research it’s a pink “lady’s slipper” orchid. They’re native to the area but I don’t recall ever seeing one before.

They apparently require very specific soil conditions, and the presence of a specific fungus in order to reproduce. I went back to the same spot several days later and found a few more of them nearby.
