Pink Lady Slippers

Earlier this May, we found a small patch of Pink Lady Slippers growing in the woods, near one of our paths. It's a reall treat to actually see these plants growing in the wild. Until now, I had only seen pictures and read about them. It's good to know we have some growing here on the farm - especially since they are rare and in some areas, endangered. We marked the ones that were growing in the path with small flags, so we would avoid stepping on them when they finish blooming.
