Lady Slipper Orchid Hike

A bunch of us went to the Hayes Brook Trail this morning to see the lady slipper orchids (Cypripedium Acaule in the Orchidaceae).  We had to go a week earlier than we have done in the past because the blooms were earlier.  And of course I could not resist taking photos.  This bunch has 14 blooms.


 












And this one also has a seed pod from last year.


 












There were also bunchberry flowers (Cornus canadensis in the Cornaceae).
