Nearby the Wild Calla was one of several Moccasin Flowers or Lady's Slipper. I suspect one of the most recognized Ontario orchids. Pink lady's slipper takes 10 years from germination to reach the flowering stage and should not be picked.

Bill! How ever do you remember all these facts??????
First time in Gowganda was 1968 with the Dept. of Lands and Forests, doing a soil and vegetation study for the Wildlife Productivity Inventory. While here found the country amazing, the boreal forest the lakes at every turn and the air clean and fresh. It didn't take long back then to get the camera out and start recording some of the sights I'd seen. Since then with a few layoffs in photography its good to get right back at it. Putting your pictures on a blog like this forces you to go out and take more pics, which is the goal of this site.
