I was looking for something else in my old photos and came across these pictures of violets taken in the NC wilderness, in Pisgah National Forest, a few years ago.

I still haven't gotten over the fact that we can carry in our pockets cameras capable of pictures like this.

I had more trouble with composition when trying to capture these jacks-in-the-pulpit lady slipper orchids.

Obligatory with a bonus fern — !

These want to be blueberries when they grow up.

@mcdanlj Lovely photos, but those are lady slipper orchids (Cypripedium acaule) not jacks in the pulpit (Arisaema tryphyllum).

Public

@bhawthorne Oh thank you!

I remember looking that up right after I took them, and then forgot it. 😳

I edited the OP to reflect your kind correction for the people who see it later.

@mcdanlj They are one of my favorite plants and one of the showier native orchids around western Massachusetts.

Public

@mcdanlj I hope you are them in a salad!

So beautiful!
