These are NOT the lady slippers close to home — that I see nearly every day (even at night), in season. These are further up, about 1/2-mile from home. Discovered them for the first time today. Not sure whether it is a brand new ‘clump’ that only sprouted this year.

They are fairly well hidden. Luckily I happened to see the pink — which made me stop. Just two flowers, a few feet apart. My local patch has over 7.

Nice rich color on these two. Enjoy.

They opened up to perfection, pink & plump, yesterday, morning, May 16, 2022. I, of course, shared pictures of those with you — yesterday.

At 11:30 last night I walked past them. It had just stopped raining. So, I knew they would be wet & gleaming. I took a few photos, one with a flash, the others using ‘Night Sight‘ on my Google Pixel 6 Pro. Just wanted to share them with you since many don’t get to see them that late at night.

Yes, I have documented the progression of the 2022 Lady Slippers in Central New Hampshire.
