Early Summer and Orchids

No church services this Sunday afternoon, so I took the opportunity to visit a favorite of mine. One of the two populations of Showy Lady Slippers in West Virginia. You can read about previous visits here:

So, I drove almost 80 miles and hiked into the woods and ran into a group of people from my community. We all knew the same people and enjoyed each others company at the Showy Lady Slipper site and shared stories.
The weather was great and the flowers in full bloom. One of the groups members even found Lily-Leaved Twayblade; the second location that I'ver seen it. Below are several pictures from the day.
