Connie,
Great pics. Any idea what the second group of orchids are?
Thanks for sharing!

They are Showy Orchis. Much smaller than the Lady's Slippers, but so delicate and beautiful. To take those photos, I lay down in the mud, proving once again that I am truly crazy.  |

Wow, great to see pics of these things in the wild.
I don't think you are crazy to lay down trying to get the pics... I did much the same when I saw Dactylorhiza in the wild.

I went for another walk today and found another group of lady's slippers, this time closer to the house. If they get any closer, they'll be growing on the deck!

Fantastic! How lucky that you have these growing so close to home. I just went on my first "orchid in situ hunt" today with OB member musicloveranthony. We saw many clumps of Cyp candidum. It was hot and humid. We were sweating like crazy but I loved every minute of it and took lots of photos. Can't wait to do it again!
