This May 10, 2009 photo shows a pink ladyslipper orchid thriving in a forest near New Market, Va. Horticulturists recommend that gardeners purchase their wildflowers from specialty nurseries rather than remove them from their native habitat because growing conditions differ so greatly in residential landscapes. Moreover, the practice often is banned because so much damage can be done to wild populations through digging. (Dean Fosdick via AP)
