Lady Slipper Flower Is The State Flower Of Minnesota

Lady slipper flower is the state flower of our glorious state of Minnesota. It is a delicate white and pink flower and it grows mainly in shaded heavily wooded areas.

The lady slipper flower is a protected flower and is in danger of becoming extinct, due to the ever expanding urban sprawl, taking out wooded areas of our wilderness.

I live in the state of Minnesota. I was born and raised here and will most likely live out the rest of my life here. We have many extremes in our weather patterns.

We get as cold as 45 degrees below zero in the winter and as high as 110 degrees in the summer with a great deal of humidity. The unpredictable weather is part of the reason I love this state.
