The early morning light is just starting to beam through the forest canopy. You’ve heard of this lesser known glen of orchids, but you’re not sure where along the trail it will be tucked away, then you see smears of pink blended in with the ferns off into the woods to the left. Little buckets of fuchsia propped up on bended green straws. As you take in the orchid filled pocket of forest, you can’t imagine anything more magical.

Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina.
