Well, either the plants are prettier now, or your photography is better. The color today is paler and prettier. They look like sweet peas! In fact, that's what I thought they were at first.
I really referred back to the other post mostly for the facts about the name... ;)
As for the photography: For one thing, the pictures in the two posts were taken in different places and in different light. The flowers themselves also come in a range of shades between white and dark pink. The photos in the earlier post were taken in sharp sunlight. Yesterday's were taken in rain - actually it was so dark that the flashlight came on in some photos...!
In this collage I've edited each picture before putting them together; blurring the foliage around the flowers.
What a beautiful flower. I don't believe that I've ever seen one before, but if I were to describe it, I'd call it a "ladyslipper" because it looks quite a bit like the ladyslippers that grow here in late May and early June.

For this blog, I have chosen a template that allows me to show pictures as big as possible . Some of the things you usually find in the sidebar, you will find here at the bottom of the page instead - Blog Archive, Followers etc.
My camera is a Nikon Coolpix 4600. For basic editing of most photos and collages I use Picasa 3. Sometimes I also experiment with some more "artistic" effects in Photoshop Elements or Paint Shop Pro.

Recently I saw a lot of Impatiens in the wood, when child they didn't grow in our woods. They are globetrotters.
They can be a bit of a nuisance, taking over river banks and killing off the native flora. But they are lovely.
