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.
