One cluster of lady’s slippers in our yard is especially impressive. There are seven yellow lady’s slippers together, including two stems with two flowers each. Last year, there were six flowers, but this year there were seven. Here are some additional pictures of yellow lady’s slippers from our backyard:

Here are a couple pictures from our yard of yellow lady’s slippers. Lady Slippers are one of my favorite flowers. We did not know they were there when we bought our property and were very pleased when we discovered them.

The yellow lady’s slippers in our yard are now past peak, but early May is the time of year to see them. In the May 2010 Potomac Appalachian newsletter, Lee Scheaffer describes where you can find them along the Appalachian Trail near Linden, VA in the G. Richard Thompson Wildlife Management Area. The article starts on the first page and is entitled “It’s A Flower Thing.”
