Sideburns, eh? And all this time I’ve thought they looked like the long ringlets of Jane Austen’s characters.

I think the sideburns look like the orthodox Jewish curls that the men have …
Are yellow Lady Slippers common there ? We have the pink ‘uns, but I’ve never seen yellow.

My yellow orchids have come and gone. Interesting that you still have yours.

Sybil sees the sidelocks that I see. Our pink ladyslippers were in full bloom exactly three weeks ago, so they’re probably gone by now.

I’ve never seen a lady slipper in real life. The photos are marvelous, and they somehow look delicate and strong, all at the same time.
What size are they? How tall? From the photo I’d say maybe six inches tall and the blossom about an inch across. Close?
