Cypripedium calceolus in the wild

Sid, Brian and I have visited some Cypripedium calceolus near my house. It was a wonderful day.
The flowers are so different.

Beautyfull Johannes.
Today I was invited to a place in northern Bavaria (Franken) There I saw my first yellow  one
There were thousands this day in three different places, much variations, but only one true yellow.

I love Franken, having stayed a couple of times in Forchheim and once in Muggendorf.
