Lady slipper growing on my parents vacation property in the Manistee National Forest. This picture is 2 years old and we haven't come across one since. #ladyslipperorchid #nativeorchid #michigannativeplants #michigan #puremichigan #rare #wildflower

@sushiwaitress Yes! I know it's very surprising. This is even several hours North of where I live so the upper part of our lower peninsula.
