    Hi Jerry,

    Have many wildflowers in my yard, pink lady slippers ( 15 so far ), jack in the pulpets, and tirillium (red ).

    Wanted to know more about them, as well as other wildflowers we have in our woods.

    The moth on the pink lady’s slipper if you haven’t already found out is Tetracis cachexiata (White slant-line). Beautiful pictures.

    I found these flowers lining the Sleeping Beauty mountain trail up in the Adirondacks and thought it was really fitting:). I also did not know they were considered vulnerable in New York.
