Some type of pitcher?

I found a few of these in the wetter parts of my property and transplanted them onto the north side of the house. They were everywhere under some new pines/sweetgums/ and poplars. Anyone know what they are? They are the first two photos on my flicker page. See link.

RE: Some type of pitcher?

The first two pictures are of Pink Lady's Slipper Orchids (Cypripedium acaule). It has been said that they do not like being moved because they rely on mycorrhizae and need acid soil. Hopefully they will do well where you planted them. If you put them close to the foundation it might be too alkaline.
