Spring has a way of rewarding those who slow down and pay attention. Nestled among the thin soils and limestone of the alvar, the White Lady's-slipper appears for only a short time each spring, waiting to be discovered by those fortunate enough to find it. Finding one is a reminder that some of nature's greatest treasures aren't announced, they're discovered. The excitement of spotting a White Lady's-slipper is often followed by something equally special, sharing the news. Notes are comparied and locations whispered. Spring is here, and with it comes the joy of discovery.
