The Yellow Ladies' Slipper Orchid is a hard to find gem like the Ram's Head Orchid. They prefer dry alkaline soil and full sun light although they will prosper in dappled light.

I found this orchid on each of my three trips searching for the Ram's Head Orchid. By my third and last trip of the year it was in bloom everywhere along the route.
