That Brownie Fairy Slipper is something else. What a beauty! We have a Chinquapin Oak Tree on our property. We watched them closely last year and were waiting for them to crack open. We checked one day and they were almost popping open. Went back 2 days later and there were NONE! I couldn't believe it. I guess the squirrels or something else were watching closer than we were. I am excited to go out soon and see what I find. Beautiful Post!
