Okay, I hope I put this in the right place.

Me and some friends where hiking in the woods and I got this strange urge to cross of the path and into this clearing where the sun was shinning down on this one flower and I got this sudden urge to posses it. I could have sworn I heard a voice say take it. Any way I took it home and followed the standard tinture steps and its still steeping now lol.

(IMG:http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/ydnixon/Uncatagorized/IMAG0003.jpg)

But does anyone happen to know what this plant is, or what its used for?


Edited because I used HTML instead of IMG ><

The plant is Lady's Slipper. If you are in the UK I should point out that this is one of the most highly protected species that we have. It is almost extinct, and picking it can carry heavy legal penalties.

Apparently it is also rare in the US, and to quote the herbal that I am reading at the moment and thus have close at hand, "it should not be picked." This is a US book, although I have no idea what the penalties are for picking endangered species in the US.

You should not pick any more that you find! Yes, I do harvest herbs from nature myself despite the harvesting of many wild-flowers being illegal in the UK, but I never touch a plant if it is the only one of its kind in a given area and I certainly don't take any that I can't identify or which I know to be rare, regardless of how numerous they might be in any particular spot.

Still, you have done it now.

Here is a random link thrown up by google that has the medicinal usage.

http://www.purplesage.org.uk/profiles/ladysslipper.htm

I also find evidence that it can have opiate like effects (check erowid.org) and I know that historically it was used for attracting love by Hoodoo practitioners. It seems like in present day America it has picked up the association of being a protection herb from neo-pagans.

I was really excited when I saw this post and J*S's response! Lady Slipper it is and it is endangered and protected here in the US due to unscrupulous herb dealers/foragers etc. It is one of the finest nervines in the plant kingdom that I've ever used...they 'move' with the seasons, appearing at random in old deciduous forests...they are breathtaking! Try not to pick them...and keep their presence a secret (from callous collectors)......I'm not sure if they are considered belonging to the Orchid family or not...but they are exceedingly rare! Whoop! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/1238.gif)

Just reminded of this topic as I went for a walk on my local patch today and found a couple of orchids growing. I wanted to confirm my initial identification (they are definitely plain old Common Spotted Orchids and fairly common as orchids go, but given the lack of biodiversity around here I am still pleased to see them) so I just went online to check and found this rather good site.

http://www.britainsorchids.fieldguide.co.u...125b4b030e098a7

Principally UK species but lots of good info and pictures on ones that I know are more widespread too.

Noticed that the Lady's Slipper is an orchid species and it is a schedule 8 plant, which I recall from my E Science days at uni makes it rarer than a incredibly rare thing from Raresville in County Rare.

I think that now you have it you should just try and do it justice by concocting the most kick-ass love charm in existence.

I expect to see you posting a new thread in a couple of weeks about how to stop the hordes of attractive, moon-eyed girls (or guys, if that is your thing) following you everywhere because of the Lady's Slipper spell you did! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Lol I already have that problem now XD, on both sides of the fence and I'm not interested in either lol.

But a friend of mine is having some trouble with love and he actually wants it... so i was thinking of making him like a love potion or amulet or something. But I think I might be posting about evading your stalkers lol.

Yes, yes...I wondered myself if the people who came up with "Lady's Slipper" weren't having a euphemistic chortle to themselves at the time. :-)

I know right, the name "Lady's slipper" can't be a coincidence lol.
Its a gorgeous plant and I do feel bad picking it, but I have it now O_o might as well get the full usage.

So at a glance,

Drug

Protection

Love potion

Nerve stuff

Laxative

I think I have a winner lol.

Dude, surely if it is schedule 8 it should be protected worldwide? Schedule 8 is, if I remember correctly, as far as it goes. The next stage is official extinction!

Of course, I guess that local legislation might mean that despite that there is no actual injunction against harvesting it. Interesting!

I forget the species, but you should be careful about taking that tincture orally. I believe it may contain atropine which is a potent deleriant, and can cause death in doses anywhere from 10-30mg's, and give you one hell of a bad trip (that last parts a guarantee, death isn't. wanting death, is.)

Like he randomly met a girl and they immediately started dating. Like she just came out of nowhere, but unfortunately they aren't' together. You can use magick to find love but beware, you have to be able to love in return.

Greetings! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry_pissed_off_emoticon.gif)
You people are really dense.
The Lady Slipper/Indian Mocassin is an Endangered Plant! Are you the types to kill rhinos for their horns? Or massacre gorillas for their hands? The Lady Slipper has NO APHRODISIAC PROPERTIES other than the PLACEBO effect! It does produce a superior nervine...but one can do without it.... It has become ENDANGERED due to idiots, like yourselves, that can't control their baser needs. If you find that you need vaginal shaped organisms to bolster your flagging and jaded interests...try mussels! They have the chemical components that will facilitate normal sexual activity, they taste good and THEY ARE NOT ENDANGERED!!! Morons......
btw....Lady Slippers do not contain atropine. They are very beautiful, appearing almost ethereally in a light deciduous woodland. They appear briefly and are then gone. Have a care people...try not to live up to the label of consumerism. Find your love p
otions elsewhere... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/butcher.gif)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH NELLY! Breathe ^^

Any Orchid will do for love spells and magick, and I'm excluded from the whole trying to find love or vagina rant because I'm asexual and am too neurotic to love ^^.
So you guys don't run out into the woods looking for the vagina plant, I've already apologized on several occasions for taking the flower in the first place due to my own ignorance.
It's over and done with, I wont do it again. (The reason the thread was made mind you).
