Like most girls, I LOVE flowers. I’m always inspired when I pass by the florist, or go for a walk with nature. Lucky for me, I was able to borrow Ontario Wildflowers: 101 Wayside Flowers from my guy. Thanks!!! He loves flowers just as much as I do, if not more than. I am amazed at the selection of beautiful flowers we have in Ontario. I decided to make a study of it for the next little while… maybe for the next 101 days.

So to start off, here is my rendition of the Yellow Lady’s Slipper (cypripedium parviflorum).
I love its shape and the details on the petals.

Plant: Erect perennial 20-80 cm tall.
Fruits: Oblong capsules containing some 15,000 seeds.
Blooms: May to July.
Habitat: Moist roadsides and woodlands.
Distribution: Native across North America.
