Nova Scotia Lady Slippers

We were delighted a few years ago to find pink lady slipper orchids growing in the forest behind our property. They're quite scattered under the trees and we keep finding new patches. The leaves are a little hard to spot among the other new growth and dead leaves until they get a few inches tall.


Last year we also discovered trillium undulatum growing throughout the woods too. This year I missed photos because it rained for 10 days. Last year Kelly transplanted some trillium into the garden and they came up this year - I guess we'll have to wait 7 years to see blooms!

  1. It rained for 10 days? Yikes! You better start on that arc... the pink are cool. I can't wait for my yellow to come up. They came back and are getting tall.
