Spring Time Beauty

OK so maybe this isn't too beautiful but if you use your imagination and think a month or two out. This ugly looking sprout will be a giant Elephant Ear. Once again this year, I left the Elephant Ear bulbs in the ground over the winter and once again some of them are popping back up.
Look at this, this is beautiful. A triple display of the unique Pink Lady Slipper. We have found at least 11 of these plants scattered in the natural areas of the yard. They push up through the layer of leaves that is spread on the ground in the fall. The baby Pink Lady Slipper that we moved out of harms way last year is coming back but doesn't have a flower yet. Will check it again in a week.
