the other ladies that day
After the crew wrapped up where the northern yellow ladyslippers were, I followed Clark and Crissy back to their place. It was a challenge since Clark was driving like a bat out of h e double hockey sticks (he admitted that he may have been influenced by watching the recent 'Mad Max' movie...) and I was driving someone else's vehicle since mine had been totaled beforehand.
Clark had told me a bunch of times about a park near his place that had pink ladyslipppers. I hadn't bothered to express interest before because 'they would be just another pink ladyslipper' and there are tons of them around upstate ny and the adirondacks. This time though I had the feeling I should check them out and get 'official' pics of any orchid from new jersey so I could make another educational display. He'd said that they came up very fast, the plants were tiny, but many of the flowers were very large

Pretty impressive!
it scored a hat trick; they were by far the smallest plants, the largest flowers and the darkest pink i'd ever seen

Plant stalker! I've heard some of the really rare types will duck if they hear you're coming :rollhappy:
Really great to see so many slippers still thriving out there. I love the tiny C. acaule too.

I have these from my cell.
My wife is checking out an oriole nest, while Charles and Ken get busy.
Ken waits his turn on a nice clump.
Eric, wishing he had his fly rod and chest waders.

We went yesterday.
There are hardly any left. I counted 17 holes where they were dug up. Fresh......

Lovely photos. Truly a shame to have lost so many.
You're kidding! Need to put land mines there I guess
I'm sure that's why many are reluctant to share orchid locations in nj
Were they still in fence?

My whole weekend sucked.
The ass clowns dressed in NJ state police uniforms had their own version of Bridgegate Saturday in south Jersey.

They were. Nice and thick within the fence. So it gives idea of what it used to, and should look like.
I don't think I will be going back to McGuire.
Over three hours to go 39 miles. Both ways no less.
Double ouch

More eBay auctions, I wonder
One point, when you are posting photos online remember that most mobile phones and even some cameras have GPS in the exif data. A number of valuable plants have been stolen by folks posting pics only to find their prized plants gone the next day!

Well, double damnit! Cyp. acaule is disappearing around
here too. Part of the problem was pine bark beetles and
part of the large stand on some of our property was four
wheelers riding through the stands we had in one section
of the nursery. Kids with four wheelers
on priviate property ought to have their toys taken away.
