What type of Lady's Slipper is this?

I found this flower in the woods in Charlevoix County, in Michigan.





I know it is a type of Lady's Slipper, but the closest thing I can find is the yellow lady's slipper, but it has brown spirals. This flower had very pretty purple spirals.





Here is a link to a pic.

Can't open your link, not a myspace member...





EDIT: Thanks for the new link.





Do you think it could be a form of this one: Cypripedium parvifolium var. pubescens?

It describes the lateral petals are sometimes being maroon.





I also read somewhere that there is some variation within the species of these plants. Some will be white to cream and that will be normal, the petal colors will also differ.





These are very pretty - we don't have those here in California. Here is a link to show the USDA map of where they are native to: http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symb...





Don't know if I gave you what you wanted/needed but I tried! :)
