Posted on June 10, 2021 by Steve Gingold

When I walked into MacLeod Field (I only recently learned the actual name of what I have been calling Lawrence Swamp wet meadow) early last Saturday morning I didn’t expect to find orchids that early in the month but felt … Continue reading →

Posted on June 5, 2021 by Steve Gingold

This morning I visited the wet meadow where I often find two species of native orchids. But…usually they are not in flower until mid-June. I was lucky and found both flowering early albeit the Grass Pink which will follow was … Continue reading →

Posted on May 31, 2021 by Steve Gingold

So far the only white Cypripedium acaule I have found this year. In the past several years there have been a few in the spot where I found the Pink pair that I posted last week but none at that … Continue reading →

05.29.2021 More of the Yellow Lady’s Slippers

Posted on May 29, 2021 by Steve Gingold

I don’t think I’ll be posting quite as many of these as I do of the Painted Trilliums, but I guess it depends on how many I come across. These are on another private property location shared with me by … Continue reading →

Posted on May 23, 2021 by Steve Gingold

Yesterday morning my mission was to visit a dependable spot for pink lady’s slippers and especially the white variant of Cypripedium acaule. Unfortunately, this year the number of plants there is lower than usual and there were no white flowers, … Continue reading →

07.06.2020 Macro Monday-Grass Pink Farewell

Posted on July 6, 2020 by Steve Gingold

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. … Continue reading →
