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.

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.

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!
