Pink lady slippers are members of the orchid family found in the eastern US and parts of Canada. They require acidic soil and are most often found in pine forests. Once used for medicinal purposes, harvesting has been discouraged due to population decline. #flowers #365species #nature

Next up is Arula, a junior studying Environmental Studies and Sustainability. She’s the Herbarium’s social media intern. In the picture, Arula is holding a Cypripedium acaule (Pink Lady Slipper). Her favorite thing about this plant is that it’s a Michigan native with a vibrant color.
