It's a Baby Pink Lady Slipper

It's a baby. We were shocked to find a brand new Pink Lady Slipper pop up on the path we walk frequently. It is less than 3 inches tall but is the spitting image of the larger plants that are about 9 inches tall. Research on the Internet told us these plants rarely produce seeds so it is unusual to find a new plant. To protect it we prepared a nice soil bed near some of the adult plants and carefully moved this baby off the path. It has been 5 days and the baby still looks good so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the move will be successful. We have searched the area pretty carefully and have located a total of 11 of these unique plants with 9 of them blooming. Nature is certainly putting on a wonderful show.
