Please help ID Flower found in woods.
Comments (5)As non-member said, Cypripedium parviflorum, Yellow Ladies Slipper Orchid. (You may also see it called Cypripedium calceolaris in some books, apparently they changed the name recently.) Terrestrial woodland orchids like that shouldn't be moved (unless they're about to be bulldozed anyway) because they are very fussy about where they grow - they need certain types of fungus growing in the soil with them to survive. That's one reason they usually don't survive transplanting. I don't know if they're protected in Ohio or not - while they aren't common I don't think they're actually endangered - but you're better off enjoying them in the woods. In fact, you're really lucky - I've only seen them twice, and once I was with someone who knew where they were growing. Having said that, if you want them in your garden, apparently this one is more successfully propagated commercially than most - you can buy them from nurseries sometimes. Just be sure it IS propagated and not just dug up from the woods. WW...See MorePlant ID, please; found in Red Rock Canyon/Calico Basin.
Comments (3)Looks much too big for an aster, I'm going to say wild sunflower, Helianthus annuus or some other closely related species. That's pretty much how they look at this time of the year where I live....See MoreI Found this plant in South India, please ID it.

Comments (3)Only two Heracleum species occur in the British Isles afaik and they are easily distinguished by leaf shape, size and stem colour long before flowering. The jagged leaves and red stem on this one say giant to me....See Morejamilalshaw26
