My entry to @txatxy’s flower contest #kolegas is a beautiful wild plant, shaped like a slipper, found in the forest,

Lady Slippers

I found the lady Slippers hidden among the spruce and birch trees a few weeks ago and today they were still in bloom.

Lady Slipper is the Provincial Flower of Prince Edward Island and it is illegal to dug them up.

There would be no sense trying to transplant them in the flower garden as they will only grow where they want to be - in the forest.
