Cypripedium Acaule

Pink Lady’s Slippers

Not far from the path wandered so often, a twin set of pink moccasins appeared one day, hanging delicately just within the reach of a couple of young fairy sisters. These will be perfect for the siblings who are preparing for the upcoming seasonal dance recital for the creatures of the woodland. Nervous as they may be about the performance, they will look and feel elegant in their silky slippers.
