They are so beautiful, almost too mysterious to be "real" flowers. Do you get the bee orchids as well? Thanks for sharing these little treasures with us.
ReplyDeleteTheir beauty deserves a bended knee.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. So fairy!
ReplyDeleteHow utterly adorable!!! We so often have to bend the knee to the small wonders of this world. Thank you for this beauty.
ReplyDeleteMy oh my oh my. How wonderful. I believe this is the rarest of the rare native orhids to be found in Minnesota. Naturally I've never seen one. Many thanks for the look T... :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, these are so nice.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty wild orchids, I love the way they hold themdselves - in a slightly demure way to show off their delicate charms. Lovely captures.
ReplyDeleteOh Tammie, you are so right that flowers are sweet special little beings! And to find so many delicate lovelies at your feet... blooming simply for the pure joy of it.

ReplyDeleteOh, those are beautiful, Tammie. We have some wild orchids, usually found along the river with the pitcher plants. This year they were sparse due to the heat from last summer and the mild winter. Yours are lovely.
ReplyDeleteFlowers sending one to their knees....How apropos!

To be in the present moment picking out dancing fairy slippers is a luxury..good for you that you take the time. How does one choose..perhaps that's up to the fairies!
