I won!! I WoN!! I WON!!

I won my version of the lotto!! I found this pink and white lady slipper while geocaching with my family yesterday afternoon. What a treat! The lady slipper is a temperate orchid native to North America and although is the MN State flower, I have never seen it in the wild before. It is amazing!
I think I am going to have to go back to the "spot" after work today even at the risk of more bug bites and ticks. I am in love. It is so intricate, delicate and absolutely beautiful!

I wish I had a pair of my own to wear!

You're right! It's amazing! I've never even seen such a flower, tame or wild. How did you spot it? I can't tell if it's very large. Must be close by, huh?
