Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve (Sonoma County, California, US)notes The Calypso orchid (Calypso bulbosa), also known as the fairy slipper or Venus's slipper, is a perennial member of the orchid family found in undisturbed northern and montane forests. It has a small pink, purple, pinkish-purple, or red flower accented with a white lip, darker purple spottings, and yellow beard. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Calypso, which takes its name from the Greek signifying concealment, as they tend to favor sheltered areas on conifer forest floors. The specific epithet, bulbosa, refers to the bulb-like corms. Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve is a state park in California, United States, preserving 805 acres of Coast redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens). The reserve is located in Sonoma County, just north of Guerneville, California. Coast redwoods are classified as temperate rain forests and they need wet and mild climates to survive.CalAcademy slide # Calypso Orchid 130314 _7002007 photo category: Plant - annual/perennial
