Pink Lady Slippers were numerous and at peak bloom. Were they the star of the day? Maybe not. Indian Paint Brushes may have the starring role.
I don't see this wildflower anywhere else. One would think, they would be found nearby on Elk Knob, Snake, Three Top or some other mountain.
The the supporting cast of wildflowers follow:
Mayflowers
Hay scented ferns
Sundew
The fen was quite wet today, so we didn't walk much in it. We did see a few Sundew plants trying to hide in the grass.
Once again, Kelly is our guide for the day. Here she is, pointing at the mist.
The Edwards' cabin is seeing more use now that a family member has taken a liking to the place. The increased usage is a concern for the Nature Conservancy. The family retained rights to the cabin for 99 years and this is only year 45
Lily of the Valley
