Very cool blooms Doug - can't say that I have ever seen Lady's Slippers before in the wild.

My contribution for today consists of some roses in Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver from a rainy day lunchtime stroll.

Crocusus and snowdrops from a windy Friday in the garden. The wind stopped me doing my usual wide aperture focus stacking technique. Ken

Globeflowers (Trollius europaeus) in the Alps, 2019. These seem to glow when the light is right so I tried to capture this with the shot + processing technique, though I didn't add any saturation to the yellow.

This is an Infrared image taken at 590nm. It is half channel swapped as I liked the pastel type colors of this.

I don't know the name of this, and no one can figure it out by the false coloring, but maybe Doug or someone can figure it out by the rather unique shape of it?

Not sure Doug. I am not very knowledgeable about the flower varieties.
