For those Worried I'm still Buried in Snow....

These are the ladyslippers I found last summer coming back in the same location. I resisted the urge last year to transplant them into my garden, and left them alone. This year I think there are more and I can sneak a peak on my own to go and see them. I do not have to share with anyone but the animals that stop by this deer path. I suspect the deer left me this present. I will of course share with my readers.

If you look very very close to the left of the top fern leaf you will see a blue dragon fly.
The purple Violet is our Provincial Flower, these were sitting close to  the Lady Slipper another provincial flower which is also close to my current Province on the map of Canada.  I wonder how Provinces pick their flowers? I've seen the Alberta's Wild Rose grow here in the East, but not the Newfoundland Purple Pitcher Plant here.


And what are these? I thought they were mayflowers but they aren't pink. As you can see the snow is gone, gone gone.  Welcome Spring and Summer.

I'm adding this into Beth's You Capture. My photos are very rough so you may enjoy her work as it's always beautiful.

Happy to spring is springing up, up there. ;-)

Lovely collection -- I have the same flowers as you show in the last photo, and I don't know what they are either. If I find out, I'll let you know.
And I have a secret patch of ladyslippers too - when my husband checked them yesterday, the deer had eaten a lot of the blooms.
Venison!
