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
05.22.2021 Yellow Lady’s Slipper

07.06.2020 Macro Monday-Grass Pink Farewell
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

As I mentioned yesterday, I did find a more local plant but I was well late. It is good to know where to find it next year though. In the meantime, here’s a shot from 2007 that’s a nice memory. … Continue reading

The nose knows that you can’t be too careful out there.
05.29.2020-2 One of the Aforementioned Pink Lady’s Slippers in White

06.05.2019-2 More lady’s slippers
