I share your passion for lady slippers :)
For the past 2 years I have been pollinating my lady slippers as they often don't get pollinated due to bees not going into the woods. Once a bee gets stuck in a lady slipper, they know to not go in one again so often they don't produce seed. So I go out there and play bee.
It takes 3 years for seed to sprout and grow. This will be year #3 so I'm hoping in the next couple of years that I will see the results of my endeavors *lol*
