Oh lucky you! I've only seen a pink one once. Nice photo.

Lovely! I saw Lady Slippers only one time somewhere in the mountains in N. C., I think it was.

How neat!

Nice!

Are they rare? I know I should do homework but no better place than here to ask, especially if your short on time...just not enough time in a day...Which also compels me to ask 'Does time really go fast as you grow older?'

When I saw the prices for lady slippers in a catalogue I checked into growing them from seed.
It looked quite a challenging process!
I believe that they are locally common but they resent being disturbed. Often they are also protected wildflowers.

Does time really go fast as you grow older?
I donÂt know if time really goes faster as one gets older.
OneÂs perspective certainly changes.
Just compare the difference between that of a grandchildÂs and a grandparentÂs view of time.

Thank you all!

>>Are they rare?

I would say so, there is some growing in the mountains and are protected, if you where to cut the flowers off, the plant would not be flowering the following year.

Local greenhouses sell them, but not cheap!

>>'Does time really go fast as you grow older?'

I surly think so.
