Wrong season

I know it is fall as I have been raking leaves all afternoon and then I want to show some spring pictures. When you arrive at my age you find that what has passed is seems more important in your mind than what is to come so please bare with me on this. This last spring we were visiting a family member when she wanted to show me something unusual. We had a neighbor pick us up in a RV and take us back into a woods. We stoped and there was a beautiful Moccasin flower or a pink Lady's Slipper. No not one flower but maybe a hundred of them. Talk about making one's day. Unfortunately our driver had to leave so we couldn't stay but we managed to get some pictures.I cannot tell you the location, not because I don't know it but for the same reason people who find a ghost orchid will not revile it's location. Needless to say it was a very good day.

Yes,THINK SPRING unless you are a skier.
But I am looking forward to Chicago Botanical Gardens:
The Orchid Show
February 8 – March 22, 2020
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Orchids After Hours, Thursday evenings, 4 – 8 p.m.
This year’s Orchid Show captures the spirit of islands, beaches, and rainforests in places like the South Pacific and the Amazon. You’ll get a feel for the radiance of blooms under sunlit palm trees and in forest canopies teeming with color and life. Picture more than 10,000 orchids in bloom, paired with sweeps of bromeliads and birds of paradise—lush, vibrant, intoxicating.So it may be gloomy where you are but you know where to come and see some unusual orchids. They also have special photographer days when you can use a tripod or monopod before they open to the public.
