>>1781348naw man, used to have ladyslippers all over my woods. they're so fussy though, they only grow in perfect forest and soil conditions. my woods were cleared farmland until the early 1900s, so relatively young forest which is why they grew so well for a couple decades. but now the forest is much thicker and darker having grown up for 100 years, and the ladyslippers, mountain laurel, and even ferns have given way to more hardy leafy undergrowth
