I just wanted to share some pictures of the very lovely lady slipper orchids that have been blooming like crazy on Prospect Hill the past couple weeks. I don't know how easy it is to find them in eastern MA, but here in the park they are bursting through the seams. They remind me of the mushroom explosion we had this past Fall, and if I recall from two years ago when we last saw them, these little orchids also won't last too long.
The Pink Lady Slipper Orchids of Prospect Hill
An uncommon 'alba' variety (this is the only one we have seen in the entire park). I wonder of the white squirrels know about this special flower?
The trail already overgrown with poison ivy, and it is only May! I think soon it will be time to wear long socks when we go out.
