This morning, Jane and I took our annual pilgrimage to Eshqua Bog in Hartland, VT to see the showy lady slippers and other bog plants.
They were plentiful, almost at peak. After last night’s rain, they still had droplets of water on them.

After this morning’s rain, Jane and I went to Eshqua Bog Natural Area, Hartland, VT, co-owned and managed by The Nature Conservancy of Vermont and The New England Wildflower Society.
They have built a boardwalk over the bog, making it handicapped accessible.
Hundreds of showy lady slippers were in bloom, a little past peak but still beautiful!
We also saw other bog plants.
Next year we will have to go earlier so we can see yellow lady slippers.
