They're native here also, pink and sometimes yellow, although the pink is far more common. Tom

Cypripedium, don't mow. Don't mow. Don't mow.
Weed if you must.
Check well after bloom for seed heads. This is another woodland seed. Don't dry seed. cold stratify them if they set any. Or nag me and I'l see if I can come up a barter offer you like. Seed needs to go direct to moist peat in fridge, if you opt to try barter.
Post script: Cyps set seed only occasionally, are incredibly inconsistant as far as seed germination goes, even by proffessional orchid growers. There was at least one MINN outfit years ago who actually used to flask seed...

If you try to move them or plant the seed capsules, move some of the dirt with them, they need compatible micro-organisms.

Beautiful! Those grow right outside your mom's window! How fortunate! I spend a lot of trail hiking time looking for those! They're native here, but rare and protected and cost an arm and leg to buy. I'd love to trade someone for seeds!
