growing wild up north

As I was walking my dog Sandy, I saw a glimpse of yellow by my feet.

As ussual, armed with my handy Sony Cyber-shot, I simply had to take a photo

of this beautiful spring bloom.  I have no idea what it is called.  If you know, I would

really appreciate a note.  The plant is only about a foot in height with one bloom.

They grow in cluster near the lake, more specifically by Georgian Bay.

Here is a quote for the last week of spring:

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors,

there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

by:   Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke

  1. I believe your flower is a lady slipper orchid. It certainly is a very pretty flower.
