'Moccasin flower', 'Pink Lady's Slipper', 'Stemless Lady's Slipper' and 'Venus' Lady-slipper'are common names for Cypripedium acaule. The wildflower is a colorful, cooperative ground cover choice for areas where shrubs and trees grow. Specifically, the plant can handle the filtered light, partial shade and somewhat acidic, moist soils that may be associated with some woody plant-friendly environments.

Two feet (60.96 centimeters) is the mature size of the Pink Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium acaule).Specifically, this wild orchid does not vary in mature height. It is easy to find because of its drought tolerant capabilities. It stands out because of the color and shape of its prominent pink bloom.
The exact number of lady slippers, particularly the rare species like the Pink Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium acaule) and the Showy Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium reginae), is difficult to determine due to their specific habitats and varying populations across regions. Many species face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and over-collection, leading to declining numbers. Conservation efforts are ongoing, but precise global counts remain elusive. Overall, it is crucial to protect their habitats to ensure their survival.
April through July is the bloom time for the moccasin flower [Cypripedium acaule]. The plant reaches a mature height of 6 - 15 inches [15.24 - 38.1 centimeters]. It's topped by a rosy pink, pouch-shaped bloom that looks like the rounded toe of a slipper or moccasin. It also is called Pink Lady's Slipper, and is related to the Yellow Lady's Slipper [Cypripedium parviflorum].
The pink and white lady slipper orchid (Cypripedium acaule) can live for several decades under the right conditions. Typically, these orchids can thrive for 20 to 50 years, although some individuals may live even longer. Their longevity is influenced by factors such as habitat, care, and environmental conditions. Proper management and conservation efforts are essential to ensure their survival in the wild.
Cypripedium reginae is the state flower.
