Pink Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium acaule) is flowering now in the acidic forests around Manchaug Pond. This particular plant is growing on a steep slope at the base of an oak tree in the woods of Douglas.

Those are beautiful! Lady Slippers can not be transplanted. The Yelow Lady Slipper is on the endangered list.
