Fortunate is a person who has an occasion to see an orchid flower of any color. They are usually rare plants and should be left alone regardless of the kind of protected status they have been given by the state.
The yellow lady's-slipper orchid is described as rare to locally frequent in moist prairies, conifer swamps and upland forests. This plant, with its several varieties, is a Wisconsin plant of special concern, meaning it may need additional protection such as being classified threatened or endangered in the future.
