Magnificent! And right on time . . . the pink lady’s slippers are blooming. This year I found two of these delightful flowers. Last year I could only find one.
When bending close to the flower and getting your nose right into its slipper, you can smell the lovely fragrance. I am always intrigued by the amazing intricacy and delicacy of this flower.
I am entering this last photo in the Gardening Gone Wild Picture This Photo Contest for May. This month’s focus, set by judge Alan Detrick, is on light as it affects a closeup image.

Simply exquisite! You’ve captured such amazing detail! I am waiting with baited breath for ours (a yellow one) to bloom.
