Lady Slipper Orchid
Stumbled Upon a Slipper
On an early spring day hike we discovered this Lady Slipper Orchid blooming among the ferns at Potawatomi State Park on the shore of Sturgeon Bay in southern Door County, Wisconsin.
These flowers show up for a short time in the early spring. Of course, to catch them during their short blooming cycle, you first have to find them. When visiting the park, I asked one of the rangers if they had spotted any and they mentioned a couple of possible locations. Unfortunately, we didn’t find many but we were pleased to, at least, find a few.
This morning I got up early to see if I could catch a sunrise image but the sky would not cooperate. So, since I had a little time, I looked at some of the images I’d captured earlier and hadn’t taken the time to process. This is one of those shots from June of 2019.
You can view a larger, more detailed version of this flower by clicking on the photo.
