The Unusual

Lady's Slippers are a native orchid to our little part of the woods. They are somewhat rare, to the point that they are considered endangered in some areas, and unusual in that they seemingly spring from nowhere. We have them growing in areas where we have trimmed back the woods to create walking paths and then they appear in the paths. These orchids are a beautiful thing.

They are often like friends, wonderful and unusual. Beautiful. Appearing in your path and thriving in just right mix of light and shade. Treasure them.
