Lady Slipper from garden of earthly delights - 

taken at RDC during the Squam Art Workshops.

I can still remember seeing my first lady slipper

as a young girl,

while playing in the woods 

in the Boston suburbs. 

A lady who was hiking nearby saw me admiring the flower 

and told me it was a rare flower

and warned me never to pick a Lady Slipper,

even if it was for my mother.

The next Lady Slipper I saw was about 35 years later while

hiking in New Preston, Connecticut

with my daughter who was almost the same age as I 

when I first discovered the flower.

Round and round the circle goes.

The Lady Slipper is the state wild flower of New Hampshire.
