MORE LADY'S SLIPPER PHOTOS








All of our activity was carefully observed (and interfered with) by an aggressively affectionate cat from a nearby house, who always managed to be in one's lap when one was desperately attempting to take a proper photo. Oh, to be a small tiger in a sunny glen full of orchids! No wonder he was so frisky.



The cinnamon fern and wild lupine look on.

Is "lady's slipper" a euphemistic name? They seem so unmistakably clitoral in shape.

Lovely, in any case.

Beautiful flowers. And clearly, this cat has good taste.

Have you considered planting a small bog garden, with pitcher plants and sundews? Although they're different from cultivating regular plants, they're very easy to maintain. That bathtub would do nicely. A kiddie pool recessed into the ground would work as well. Just fill it with long grain sphagnum moss, and plangt away! Might help your mosquito problem, too.

Hate to lower the tone, but if I must be the first to say it I must. Those orchids at the top look like highly agitated scrotums.

No wonder they brought a scalding hot bath to mind!
