Showy Lady Slipper

// July 25th, 2010 // Boreal Forest, Whiteshell Provincial Park, Wildflowers

Welcome back to my website & thanks for visiting !

Delicate large blooms that grow in sandy, rocky soil and ditch areas.  These are most beautiful members of the orchid family and wonderful wild flowers to happen upon.  These were blooming in a ditch in the Sandilands area.  Enjoy them in their natural habitat and do not pick or remove these plants – they are not meant to grow in our gardens.  To quote one of my wildflower books, “Pick None”.

Enjoy!
