Beth F said...: Lovely -- such a delicate pink.; Wednesday, July 13, 2011 7:10:00 AM
Heather said...: Thanks Liz, Shelley, Pippa and Beth. I'm so glad I saw these when I did. They bloom so briefly and were already gone the next week.; Wednesday, July 13, 2011 10:40:00 AM
Jana said...: Pretty! I, too, love orchids. Glad you had the good fortune to find these in time! :); Wednesday, July 13, 2011 11:09:00 AM
Heather said...: Thanks, Jana -- I'm glad I did, too--especially as these are, apparently, quite rare.; Wednesday, July 13, 2011 12:20:00 PM
sandyshares said...: Are there lots of them how lovely sandy; Thursday, July 14, 2011 10:10:00 AM
Heather said...: Sandy: No, not that many actually. Maybe only 15 to 20 flowers, but only in one small area. They are an endangered and protected species within the Arb, and have a very brief blooming time.; Thursday, July 14, 2011 10:45:00 AM
Jana said...: The endangered/protected species aspect makes this catch even more spectacular. :-); Thursday, July 14, 2011 12:00:00 PM
Alice Audrey said...: They kind of make me think of ballerinas.; Thursday, July 21, 2011 12:48:00 AM
Mia Celeste said...: Wow, how lovely. I'm glad you captured and shared them.:); Thursday, July 21, 2011 6:19:00 AM
Heather said...: Alice; They are as light and graceful as ballerinas, aren't they?

Brenda: Thank you--I'm glad I visited the prairie at just the right time this year!; Thursday, July 21, 2011 9:29:00 AM
