It is proposed to merge Lady's Slipper with this article...Cypripedium acaule. Please discuss this proposal here. SriMesh | talk 01:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC) reply

You want to merge a subfamily article into a species article? I think not. Hesperian 23:31, 9 November 2008 (UTC) reply

I was working on a paper, and needed the specific definition of Lady Slipper. If the Lady Slipper file had been merged with another file, it would be useless to me as I wouldn't be sure what was about the Lady Slipper and what wasn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.195.36.60 ( talk) 00:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Cypripedium acaule - Sasata edit1.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 3, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-02-03. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! — howcheng { chat} 05:57, 2 February 2012 (UTC) reply

There have been repeated edits trying to change this article to say it's the state flower of Minnesota. (It's not. That's C. reginaethe pink-and-white ladyslipper.) Is there a way to prevent this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arctostaphylospallida ( talk • contribs) 04:59, 18 October 2018 (UTC) reply

The most recents edits introduced errors into the article. The state flower of Minnesota is Cypripedium reginae, ^[1] while the state wildflower of New Hampshire is Cypripedium acaule. ^[2] Tom Scavo ( talk) 11:58, 18 May 2021 (UTC) reply

The errors have been removed and a previous (correct) version of the article has been restored. Tom Scavo ( talk) 12:11, 18 May 2021 (UTC) reply
