Hi Mark!

I went out back to the quarter acre wood on our homestead to look again for some fairy slippers. I do a botanical survey back there every year to see how the Calypso is doing. They have either gone dormant, or they have elected to not grow there anymore. I only found one. There are usually 11 or 12. Sigh!

I got on my knees and smelled it and it has a wonderful honey scent,as you described .

It was so worth it.

🥹 oh my. This radiant wild beauty never fails to give me butterflies. Thank you for getting in close with her to drink that hidden essence.. so that we might all get a waft of that tropical floral nectar.
