Brown & Folsom: WILD ORCHIDS OF THE WHITE MOUNTAINS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND MAINE Cypripedium acaule, the pink lady’s-slipper or moccasin flower is perhaps one of the most familiar orchids to be found in northeastern North America. Although color is variable and presents itself in just about every shade of pink, some actually tend towards peach. The forma albiflorum is more frequent northward and in many places in the WMNF is the more frequently seen color form. It is the showiest roadside orchid in late Spring in the region. forma albiflorum/biflorum 215 forma biflorum forma albiflorum
