Located at a distance of around 100 km from Ottawa, Purdon Conservation Area keeps the colony of one of the most beautiful orchids: Showy Lady’s Slipper. This conservation area started from the moment when the local man who valued the beauty found amazing flowers on his property and decided to preserve them that others could also observe these pearls of nature.  This is the largest colony of Showy Lady's Slipper in Canada. And now it is the right time to visit this area.
