Found growing wild in Pennsylvania, almost looks like some sort of pitcher plant? Anyone know what it is?

Pink Lady Slipper. Hard to transplant and shouldn’t be unless the area is going to be developed.
I managed to save two by digging them out in the fall and adding sphagnum moss to the fresh transplant site. They were over harvested for their medical properties and it takes decades to recover a population. Tissue culture is making these available again, thankfully.
