BROWN Earthy and humble, you are often mistaken for being plain, when you are quite interesting. Your gentle spirit causes you to be attractive to others who are searching for geniune friends.

What is Pink Saturday?
My fairy name
Your fairy is called Oak Goblinfly
She is a bringer of riches and wealth.
She lives in forests of oak and lime trees.
She is only seen at midday under a quiet, cloudless sky.
She decorates herself with leaves and berries. She has gentle green wings like a butterfly.
I love my lady slippers, I can't say enough about them, they're gorgeous, perfect and beautiful. They are protected due in part of it's flower formation, aka the slipper. You see...it's easy for a hungry bug to climb in the slipper but hard for it to get out thereby pollinating the world with slippers. The inner lips of the slipper is a trap that generally lead to death of the insect, this is after the disappointment of not finding very much pollen either.
The lady slipper has a life span of 20 years to reproduce an offspring. It withers and dies. In it's native land every hillside is covered with a sea of pink and white. Yellow is rarest.
Oh they are so pretty. I have not seen one in the wild for years. You are lucky to have them on your land. I sure would love to see a whole hillside of em. What is their native land.
Lola, I think pink is the color we have the most of up here.
I love them too because they remind me of growing up and finding them in the woods. Takes me back. Even then I knew they were special. Must be spring there? How's the veggie garden going?

This is so lovely! I don't think I've ever seen a Lady Slipper in person. Thanks for the info and Happy Pink Saturday.
Be a sweetie,

That is a great looking slipper. I've never seen a pink one, only white.
Happy Pink Saturday.
