The "Blue Flag" and the "Calypso"

This "Blue flag" belongs to the group of "Irises" and grows in some abundance in Algonquin Park, where this intricately woven picture was taken.
I particularly like the green leaves of this flower, which display an almost artistically woven pattern supporting the "Blue Flag."

In Lake Huron, just off Tobermory, at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula,

you may find "Flowerpot Island."

There is a narrow opening in the rocky ground, out of which

a steady warm breeze blows. Summer and Winter.

Therefore, even though the winters there are ferocious,

there grow a number of Orchids.

This one is the so-called "Calypso Orchid!"
