Lady's Slipper

Lady's Slipper In The Woods On Bolton Mountain. Lady's slipper orchids (Cypripedium acaule), (also known as lady slipper orchids or slipper orchids) are characterised by the slipper-shaped pouches (modified labellums) of the flowers – the pouch traps insects so they are forced to climb up past the staminode, behind which they collect or deposit pollinia, thus fertilizing the flower.

Blue Hydrangeas

Not all hydrangeas produce blue flowers. Hydrangeas with white or cream flowers, such as Annabelle hydrangeas, oakleaf hydrangeas and members of the PeeGee family, can only produce white or cream flowers. Sometimes their blooms take on a pink tinge at the end of the season, but that's about as colorful as they get. Hydrangeas with bloom colors that range from pink through blue and purple (such as Nikko Blue hydrangea, Forever Pink hydrangea, Pretty in Pink hydrangea) usually belong to the hydrangea cultivars known as mopheads and lacecaps. These types of hydrangeas have the interesting ability to change the color of their blooms based on the chemistry of the soil. When grown in alkaline soil, the bloom colors are pinker. When grown in acidic soil, the bloom colors are bluer.
