Cypripedium fasciculatum
Also called Brownie's Lady’s Slipper, Brownie Lady's Slipper, Cluster Lady's Slipper
Clustered lady's slipper is a native North American terrestrial orchid that grows from rhizomes in cool, shaded mountain conifer forests. It is rarely grown in gardens and is best left in the wild, as it is difficult to establish and is protected in parts of its range.
Cypripedium fasciculatum, the clustered lady's slipper, is a member of the orchid genus Cypripedium. Members of this genus are commonly referred to as ladies' slippers. C. fasciculatum, along with C. montanum and C. californicum, are the only members of the genus Cypripedium that are endemic to western North America.
C. fasciculatum is found in the western United States in Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. It is usually found in cool, open coniferous forests, mostly in the mountains.
