Among a few other subjects that I found in the meadow was most likely the last of the Grass Pinks-Calopogon tuberosus that I will photograph this season. Most are long past and not looking good even for a “spent” image. I might renege on that but it’s doubtful.

Long past but still blossoming? Not yet spent–bring it on!

Most were pretty bedraggled except this brave beauty lingering luxuriously.

The almost-without-form green in the back is a nice complement to the pink of the subject.

That is something I always look for with most flowers but in this meadow and with these it is not hard to find such examples.

What a pretty, dainty, pink flower. Is that a fern in the background?

Isn’t it lovely? Orchids are beautiful members of this swamp society. Yes it is, Lori. I think a cinnamon fern but I don’t remember for sure.

It’s sad to see the height of the spring flower season pass, isn’t it? But summer has its pleasures, for sure. Beautiful!

It is, but the brevity makes each return more special. I miss the cool mornings and comfortable days more. 🙂
