This area of Dauphin County 70 years ago was nothing but coal mines and coal tailings.Now 70 years later the forest has regenerated,and this area has hundreds of Pink Lady's Slipper orchids,if not thousands.If you ever need a reminder of it's past anthracite history-just scrape away the tin topsoil and you will see nothing but old coal soil [slag].Dauphin County,Pa.5-11-19 [Cypripedium acaule]
