Deeper into Spring

 

Thrilled to visit with the lovely Calypso orchids

more commonly called Fairy Slippers

Native stonecrop succulents that slept beneath winter's snow 

have sprung to life in perfection

along with joyous moss

 

 

 tis the season for lovely morels

or should I say yummy morels

make two wishes

one for you

and one for our lovely world

Calypso bulbosa

an early arrival

they usually don't bloom for a couple or few more weeks

in my little snow belt area

but there it was

a little Fairyslipper

Calypso Bulbosa

wild orchid

nearly open

bathing in forest light

Calypso bulbosa

it is fairy slipper season 

they rise from a tangle on the forest floor

one here, two there

like magic 

wild orchids

cloaked in raindrop gems

the lovely 

Calypso bulbosa
