Showy Lady's-slipper   

On Friday, Diana and I visited the Purdon Conservation Area. While the Lanark Highlands Orchid Festival and Tour was on Saturday, the Showy Lady's-slippers -- all 16,000 of them -- will continue to put on a good show for the next week or two. Further information is available from the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority.
