This large orchid is Minnesota's state flower. It is colored a bright pink and brilliant white that usually has a single blossom on each stem, but may have two. White petals hover over the white and pink-striped pouch. Leaves are hairy and clasp the stem.
Northern forests, bogs, wetlands, etc, but the soils must be damp.
