[MPWG] lady slipper discussion

MPWG:
 
I have really enjoyed the discussion on lady slipper cultivation because it  
is a plant I have encountered with regular frequency during my entire working  
life as a private sector forester.  I have always heard about the  
difficulties of propagating or transplanting it but I have never really  read or heard 
much on the habitat of the beast.  Some of the posts have  matched my 
observations from the wild.  However there are some pretty big  differences between 
habitats for pink lady slipper in glaciated areas of  southern Vermont and 
central West Virginia.
 
I would appreciate thoughts on proactive ways that "in situ conservation"  
could be applied to expand existing populations.
