Reported by John Platt in Scientific American online here, a single flowering plant of the terrestrial lady slipper orchid Cypripedium calceolus still lives in the wild in Lancashire UK.
The plant is under police protection. The plant is reported to be 100 yrs. old.
I would love to see an orchid living wild here in N. America. Orchids truly are survivor plants.
