Paul Staniszewski reminded me this week that pink lady slippers (Cypripedium acaule) are blooming now in Pennsylvania’s woods.
Take some time to look for them this weekend.
Last year I found some in a deer exclosure at Ohiopyle State Park.

I love these flowers! We would always see them in Allegheny National Forest at Loleta campground on our Memorial Day weekend camping trips.
