I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

Most of us in the area grew up being told not to pick Lady's Slippers as they were an orchid and quite rare. This spring I found quite a number of them and took comfort in knowing that I could capture them with my camera, enjoying their beauty forever.

I love Lady's Slippers!! These photos turned out great! I haven't seen a Lady's Slipper in many years. They always make me think of Grandma, she would often take Grub and I hunting for them down by the lake. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you've captured them beautifully for us to enjoy, too! I don't have Lady's Slippers in my woods, but there are Trilliums and Woodland Anemones that always delight me when I find them.
