Showy Lady’s Slippers

Just like clockwork the Minnesota State Flower appears near Father’s Day every June.

Lots of slippers

They are beautiful! I look forward to seeing them in bloom every June.

In bud

There are many buds, and the weather has turned rainy and cool so we may have a longer Lady Slipper season than normal.

Some seem as if they are marching along with an escort.

They are so beautiful! I enjoy going for rides this time of year and seeing the lady slippers in the ditches. One of my favorite flowers.

They are a wonderful flower. They are such an orchid like flower and the colors are so great.

So pretty. Do they only grow in MN? I don't remember ever seeing any but would I have recognized them when I was younger? Not sure...I was always in a hurry going no where!
