Every Day a New Flower Blooms

Just for the record, I'm posting photos here of some of the flowers I've found coming into bloom this week.  I used to obsessively keep written notes of every wildflower I found, from genuine rarities to tiny sidewalk weeds,  but I'm finding myself growing lax at this task.  More and more, I use my blog as a record when I want to know where and when I might find a certain flower in bloom.  Here are some I found the past few days.

At Woods Hollow Nature Preserve, Ballston Spa:

Pink Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium acaule)

Painted Trillium (Trillium undulatum)
