PEI's Flower

The pink lady's slipper is the official flower of PEI.  It's also in our flower beds in the backyard.  Yesterday, while photographing flowers around the home, I noted that the flowers in my two clumps of pink lady's slippers seemed to be at their prime.  So, I took a few shots, one of which is shown below:

This lady's slipper is just one of three species in the back yard beds.  It blooms just as the yellow lady's slipper is starting to lose its lustre.  They are a spectacular end to the seasonal succession of wild orchids in our garden.
