Lady's Slipper (Calceolaria fothergillii)
Steeple Jason. FALKLAND ISLANDS.
A perennial herb which flowers solitary on a long hairy stalk about 10cm high. Flowers vary from yellow to red or combinations of the two. Locally common on some well drained coastal slopes and often amongst Diddle-dee heath.

The Jasons (Grand and Steeple) are a chain of islands 40 miles (64km) north and west off West Falkland towards Patagonia. Steeple is 6 by 1 mile (10Km by 1.6km) in size. From the coast the land rises steeply to a rocky ridge running along the length.
This island has the largest Black-browed Albatross colony in the world with 113,000. The island is owned by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society)
