BOG PLANTS AND NATIVE ORCHIDS 
To the group of plants 
which can be convenient¬ 
ly classed as Bog Plants 
belong some of the most 
interesting varieties of 
our American flora. 
These require a damp 
situation in which the 
moisture must be con¬ 
stant yet not excessive. 
Native Orchids can be successfully 
grown under the right conditions. The 
Cypripedium acaule should be planted 
where the soil is very 
light, composed chiefly 
of sand and where the 
drainage is exceptionally 
good, and should always 
be planted in the shade. 
The Cypripedium specta- 
bile requires boggy con¬ 
ditions where there is 
constant moisture. The 
Cypripedium pubescens will grow 
either under boggy conditions or in a 
rich wood soil in the shade.
