Greetings!

I was on a orchid hunting fieldtrip yesterday and discovered a white flowered form of the Pink Lady Slipper. This is the first time I've ever seen one in the wild and was very excited to find it. Along with the one white blooming plant we saw ~80 other pink ones in bloom. I wanted to share this discovery her on Dave's Garden. Has anyone else ever seen a white one? I will post the other pics later today.
