Sitting high up on a balcony rail, watching the people below. I certainly do not trust my babies enough to let them out on the balcony to try this for themselves.

Blooming in late spring, the Pink Lady’s Slipper (Cypripedium acaule (Orchidaceae) ) orchid is known in the United States and Canada as the Moccasin Flower, from its resemblance to a shoe or moccasin.

This native orchid prefers acid soil such as is found in pine forests of northern Ontario.

The Pink Lady’s Slipper is the provincial flower of Prince Edward Island, Canada. In Nova Scotia, Canada it is considered endangered and is protected by law.

If the plant’s blossom does not cycle through, it will not regenerate; for this reason, it is recommended that the flower not be picked.

This mare was so soundly asleep in the grass that she was snoring. Then her colt decided to wake her up cuz he was scared of the lady with the camera. I love the bad 'mane' day and the bleary eyed face, so expressive.
