2016-06-07 European Lady Slipper Orchid

European Lady Slipper Orchid / Cypripedium calceolus / Europäischer Frauenschuh

Wonderful day. Hiking and treasure hunting in the mountains with my mum and dad, to look for the rare European Lady Slippers.
Catching a glimpse of a rare orchid growing in the wild is a moment to be treasured! And I treasure it the more, finding them together with my parents. As these are the most amazing people, who taught me: to look, to see, to learn, to protect and to treasure. (and much more)

If you are interested, have a look at my plan B album, where I put together the orchid species we found today. http://365project.org/mona65/2015-plan-b-alb/2016-06-07
