My Wednesday Walk is in the forest where I looked for the elusive lady Slippers,
The Forest Path
This path winds between the birch trees. It doesn鈥檛 take long for the forest path to get covered in greenery with new growth.
Lady Slippers
The beautiful lady slippers grow hidden deep in the forest near the spruce and birch trees.
Lady Slippers are the provincial flower of P.E.I. It is frowned on to to pick or transplant this special and unique orchid. Their name comes from the bloom having a resemblance to a slipper.
Fungi
When leaving the lady slippers I saw this fungi on a small tree.
Spider Web 馃暦
A web attached to a small dead tree. It looks like somethings have been caught in the web.
Another web attached to the upturned roots of a tree that had fallen over in a winter storm.
Lupins
The lupins are making the roadways cheery with colors of purple, pink, white and blue but only this pink one greeted me as I was coming out of the forest.
Elephant Plants
My walk was to see the Lady Slippers but I will conclude my walk with the Elephant plants. I see them as I walk towards the house. That may not be the correct name but they have a big leaf like an elephant鈥檚 ear.
Later this summer there will be small white clusters of flowers on them. They remind me of a giant beanstalk that Jack would have climbed. Unfortunately as lovely as they look, they are an invasive species and must be kept under control or will take over.
