Picture of the Day for July 27, 2016

Every time I have been mowing the lawn this month, I have been watching an area just into the edge of a field looking for some purple pink color and yesterday I was rewarded. Last year I had spotted the Lesser Purple Fringed Orchid, which I hadn’t seen in the area for more than 30 years, so I wasn’t sure if it would sprout up this year again but it did near last year’s plant. The dancing petals look like they sliding down a water park slide when their arms raised up and have a fun time doing it.
