Bunchberries (a type of dogwood) and pink Mocassin plants (aka Lady's Slippers) shot on the Orono Bog Boardwalk in Bangor/Orono, Maine. What a hot, stuffy day that was. The Bog Walk is enjoyable. That year I saw these white mystery flowers everywhere. They looked like dogwood blooms to me. (Looked it up, they are Bunchberries.) And had been hunting for YEARS for Lady's Slippers. Ta Da.  (Found more, white and pink, growing wild around properties on Piper Pond in Maine. I love vacay "Up Maine".)
