LADY SLIPPERS
pink lady slipper
Cypripedium acaule
the only thing better than a lady slipper
is multiple lady slippers
pink azalea or pinxter flower
Rhododendron periclymenoides
Just as the spring blossoming starts to slow it's pace comes one of the most beautiful of flowers; the lady slipper - it comes in yellow and pink around here - white and mixed or painted in other states. yellow is relatively rare and while the pink are more frequent but not easily found. I was privileged to see dozens of these pink beauties recently. I owe a friend a payback for taking me to see them. We also saw some pink wild azaleas. I am happy to share them with you now.
