Friday's Bouquet

I woke up this morning to find my pink slippers missing (Yes, I wear pink slippers). Later, I found them in the hall, neatly hung up.



p.s. They say these are Lady’s Slippers.

Beautiful. I wonder if they are related to the Fly Trap flowers?

Hi beepbeep,

They do look like fly trap flowers but I don't think they are related. These are slipper orchids.

Hi MsEd,

Thank you. There are many varieties of slipper orchids but the Lady's Slipper is the most dainty.

Really beautiful. We had something we called lady slippers when I was growing up on the east coast but they were white and looked very different. Yours are so much more colorful.

Ohh, Lee! Wonderful! I had never seen something like that. I need a pair (at least) of these beautiful slippers. Hugs.

Hi sw,

Hmm, it looks like American slippers are white. Over here, we have very colourful slippers. I may post some of them later.

Merry Christmas angel,

The Massachusetts government is right to protect these orchids. Over here, some wild orchids are stolen while more are destroyed by development till there is nothing left one day. So sad.

Hi GLUMO,

Thank you. I am sure there are a lot of exotic orchids in your country including slippers.

Hi Poet,

Thank you. The flowers are cute but probably not as cute as my slippers. My housecoat is blue and as for the buzz......, I am so bashful.
