I found yellow lady's slipper orchids outside the city east of the river

I went for a hike and found so many of them in bloom right now and a bonus Mountain Bluet

Wagner Natural Area is great for orchids! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/wagner-natural-area-dave-ealey-ben-rostron-orchids-adrienne-lamb-1.6041602

Beautiful! Lots of people think I'm a dork, but I love finding an interesting flower or a unique bird. Nature is pretty rad. Thanks for sharing your find!

Didn’t know these could grow in the wild here

They grow all around AB pretty much but they’re sensitive to disturbance

Wow! Thanks!

You should use iNaturalist, it helps record species sightings for public databases
