Pink Lady Slipper Orchid, Rachel Carson NWR, Wells Maine<\/p><\/div>\n

I am always impatient for the Pink Lady Slipper Orchids to bloom along the loop trail at the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge headquaters in Wells Maine. It is only a mile loop, but it is one of the best places for spring woodland flowers in Southern Maine. The Lady Slippers are late this year. I have checked weekly for 4 weeks. Yesterday was overcast…not the best light…the parking at Rachel Carson was overfull, and there were way too many people, in Maine for the long weekend, on the trails, but the Lady Slippers did not seem to care. They were in bloom finally. They are not at their most intense pink this year…and the light was subdued…but still!<\/p>\n
