    My first North American wild lady slippers! I was lucky to be in New England at teh peak of their blooming season, and I was just amazed to see how common they are. I saw them on just about every hike! Posted 7 years ago

      Nice, and it looks in such good shape! To me it resembles a human heart, could be me :) Posted 7 years ago

        Yes, or a set of lungs! It's those veins that make it look so much like an organ! Posted 7 years ago
