Ladyslippers Galore

Snug Harbor Reporter here from the Command Central in the Rock Harbor Auditorium, where we are churning out spiny water flea posters, medical flashcards, and knowledge like nobody's business. I'm just popping in here to let everybody know that the island is just CRAWLING with ladyslipper orchids right now; or, it would be, if ladyslippers were mobile. As far as I am aware, however, they tend to be pretty stationary.


Sam Case, our local photographer/interper has some great photos of clusters of yellow ladyslippers at Daisy Farm Campground, coming in a blog post soon - I propose a name change to Ladyslipper Campground.


The path to Lookout Louise is also rife with ladyslippers, including the pink ladyslipper (aka moccasin flower) and the very rare and beautiful ram's head ladyslipper.


Now is the time for an orchid hunt - so put on your waterproof hiking boots and get out there.
