Spring lily & orchid

 

Flowers seem to time their blooming to optimize their interaction with pollinators.

Two early spring bloomers were noticed today: a Glacier Lily and a Fairy Slipper (an orchid).

This is one of a large crop of Glacier Lilies strewn across the hillside.

There were only two Fairy Slippers that had bloomed already, but many buds were about to do so. In another week, they will have spread across the slope.
