So many wonderful comments and guesses were shared. Here are the guesses that came the closest:
Eco Rover suggested: some sort of orchid
Frontier Mom: I vote Lupine...but if it's a Fairyslipper, will you please take another photo of it in bloom?
Caroline: Is it a lady slipper?
Healingstones: is it a wild orchid of some kind - it has that long shape?
Dream With the Fishes: I'm going to take a guess anyway and say some kind of orchid.
The little buds are still developing, not a blooming flower yet
so I will share a photo from last year
I present to you the glorious and lovely scented
tiny little, wild orchid;
Fairyslipper
Frontier Mom guessed Lupin, but she did have the intuition to name the fairyslipper.
Please contact me ( I don't seem to be able to contact you) so that I can give you a greeting card!

Wonderful, are there wild orchids everywhere?
ReplyDeleteOrchids seem to be rare to find, perhaps that makes them more precious?!
ReplyDeleteThis little orchid is my hearts delight, so I remember where I have seen them, and I wait and watch as they begin to appear. One leaf, one stem, one lovely scented flower.
Oh bummer I missed this one!!! Whoohoo - how fun hon!!
ReplyDeleteWild orchids are a rarity in Europe now, this is so pretty and delicate!
ReplyDeleteLovely! is it smaller and more delicate than the usual Ladyslipper? Or is it the same thing?
ReplyDeleteWow! In a way I was right, as those are what I remember the Scarlette family called ladyslippers. They are exquisite, and I am glad to hear they are actually orchid! What a beautiful thing. I am sure they do not grow here.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful,when I go for a walk in nearby nature resort,I surch for wild orchids and than Im happy.I just need to do that more often.Greetings from Sandra

ReplyDeleteI can't believe you've found a fairyslipper...it's been so positively chilly this spring! Lovely! I'll send you a note with my email.
Happy week,
Cynthia
Congratulations to the winner! I had no idea - I just don't know the names of them. It's very pretty!
