Description Cypripedium calceolus

This is a "lady's-slipper orchid" that grows spontaneously in open woodland on moist calcareous soils. Secret location, it's such a rare flower...

***

Conosciuta anche come "Scarpetta di Venere", quest'orchidea cresce spontanea nel bosco su suoli calcarei. È un fiore ormai così raro che preferisco tenere segreto il luogo in cui l'ho fotografata.

yeah, tell me where pollution is not an issue in this sick world... so sad... and what about the destruction of virgin forests to plant palm trees to produce palm fat for the food industry? The same palm fat that's going to clog our veins and kill us of a painful cariac desease, cured by fat rich pharmaceutics?

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls."
