The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. Take Joy!

Phil has always wanted to see one, where is this one?
What a gorgeous flower this is!
I love the pink "lip" on it.
i like the second photo, it made me smile, looks like a little pink bowl or part of a child's teaset
You are such a treasure and I appreciate you so much...Thank you for praying for me. I am very glad to be back and coming for visits to your blog which is always full of beauty and wisdom.....
it looks like a sipper...or maybe even a purse.
I haven't seen one of these for some time. Very pretty!
The Lady Slipper is an elegant flower,whether in the pink you show or the yellow which is more common in my area.
The rare Lady's Slipper orchid (yellow) grows in one particular place in the wild in north Yorkshire, UK. The pink one is pretty.
Love the Tasha Tudor quote...she's such a delightful author and gardener.
Very lovely. Wishing you and sweet Callie a nice day.
So pretty!

Beautiful; I've never seen one this colour. The one I found a couple of years ago didn't come back this year.
The Lady Slipper is lovely, beautiful images! Have a happy day!
It looks like the upright part is drinking from a bowl---such an unusual flower.
Love Tasha Tudor.
this is just beautiful! such a striking flower.
so pretty and i love the color. i thought it was an orchid!!
In the second photo, the bloom seems to be in the embrace of the leaves. Such a rare and beautiful treasure.
Ah, the strength of JOY--a blessing and a wonder! And so are these lady's slipper orchid images--sweet! Happy Days, Susan ((HUGS))
