Here's something you don't often see

Your scrapblog editor and her hiking pal Heather (she of the morels quest) were delighted to find some showy pink ladyslippers Tuesday during a walk at the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden in Minneapolis' Theodore Wirth Park. June 9 is a little late for the rare orchid to be blooming, but it's been a cold, dry, recalcitrant spring. Heather took these photos as your scrapblog editor stood by gawking, wistfully recalling Mom's long-ago patch in Old Frontenac, Minn. Here's a DNR link to information about the pink ladyslipper.
