And that sweet yellow lady's slipper—I've never seen that, either (although I have seen the pink variety in Oregon). Are the wild azaleas fragrant? I'm assuming that they are, since the wild varieties in Oregon have an intoxicating scent. Wildflowers plus gorgeous views—what a wonderful hike!

The bellwort is still my favorite, but those lady slippers are awesome. What a design!! The spur to the lookout is beautiful - maybe even more so looking back to the trail.

Still, I did find a western fairyslipper on my last hike and posted a photo of it on the blog. Our trilliums were completely finished, but I did see tons of leaves. If we had been in the mountains just a bit sooner, they would have been a carpet on the forest floor. You keep reminding me to get a battery for my fitbit. :)Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-64554839681746602452018-06-12T18:21:41.965-04:002018-06-12T18:21:41.965-04:00Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
