The floor of my side wood is once again sprinkled with Lady Slippers. I have looked forward to the arrival of these protected flowers each spring since I first discovered them 12 years ago at our new home. Back then, there were only a few delicate blooms and a toddler named Jubal who liked to pick them for his mother. Well, they survived that toddler and the next three. Today I took Tell out to look at them and counted over 40 plants with 4 already blossoming. The first movement is complete and I await the completion of the Creator's Woodland Ballet, accompanied by a symphony of songbirds.
Beautiful!!!
