    The hubby brought home this wild orchid one day. He says it's a Lady's Slipper. Is that correct?

    I'd don't think it's a lady's slipper either, but sure is a beautiful flower.

    Oh, it's that lovely iris-look-alike plant again. :D I know someone ID-d it a while ago but I can't remember what it was called.

    Truly awesome group here!
    Now for the hard part... telling Hubby he was wrong! :D

    He's usually pretty good naming flowers... but I guess he can't get them all right all the time.
