Here is a closer look of the marsh marigold.
Forgot to say about the pink lady slipper.
Bear in mind that lady slippers are a protected wildflower. They must not be transplanted unless you own the property they are on. I have moved some that were in our trail with pretty good results, but this year my transplants are doing poorly (after several years) and some other nice ones are not blooming either, or even coming up. In another area they are at their best this year. I don't know why.
