Sunshine
My husband chose our route home today just so I could see these little beauties. It's a lady slipper, and with all that has been going on lately (I'll go into details soon) they were just the spot of sunshine I needed...

Oh, love them! Wondered about them this morning when I noticed the picture you gave me of the pink ones.
My mother-in-law and I were ecstatic to stumble upon yellow lady slippers when we visited in May several years ago. They were the first I had seen in real life.
Lovely photo! I'm glad to hear they could bring some sunshine to your life :-)
what a beautiful capture of a beautiful flower. so glad they brought a smile to your face...thanks for sharing them with us.
Glad you had a little bright spot in your day. Take care.
Hope things look up for you soon, and that you find many other little blessings along the way.
I have to say that I'm very impressed with the diversity of plants and flowers on the island....I never dreamed that there could be so many different little things on such a tiny island!
As we were hiking through the island on Saturday, there was a mom and her three little girls and the oldest, who appeared to be about 4 yrs old shouted, "Mommy! Lady slippers!" It was so cute seeing her actually recognize the name of them! Take care sweetie. :)
Beautiful! I'd never thought you'll have this kind of orchids on your island!
Take care.
What a beautiful flower! I'm glad it cheered you on your walk!

How pretty - I've always wondered what they looked like!
Such pretty and intricate flowers, hope their brightness stays with you. We have gorgeous weather in Scotland at the moment so I send you some of our sunshine too.
Lovely Lady's Slipper. I went in search of them about a week ago and was directed to a nearby lake area where they were in abundance. I posted some on my blog if your are interested in seein some pink one. Your yellow one is spectacular.
You are sooooo lucky to have these on the island! I have never, ever actually seen one. I understand they do grow in the PNW but so far I've never found one blooming.
This a a beautiful shot. Makes me smile! Thank you!
