Wood, the great material
I think I have praised wood as a material before, but let there be another sample of its greatness. You can literally smell the wet wood and know how it feels like under hand.

Shingle Style architecture
The Shingle style is an American architectural style made popular by the rise of the New England school of architecture, which eschewed the highly ornamented patterns of the Eastlake style in Queen Anne architecture. In the Shingle style, English influence was combined with the renewed interest in Colonial American architecture
which followed the 1876 celebration of the Centennial. The plain,
shingled surfaces of colonial buildings were adopted, and their massing
emulated.
Aside from being a style of design, the style also conveyed a sense
of the house as continuous volume. This effect—of the building as an
envelope of space, rather than a great mass, was enhanced by the visual
tautness of the flat shingled surfaces, the horizontal shape of many
Shingle-style houses, and the emphasis on horizontal continuity, both in
exterior details and in the flow of spaces within the houses.

Cypripedium acaule
They are characterised by the slipper-shaped pouches of the flowers – the pouch traps insects so they are forced to climb up past the staminode, behind which they collect or deposit pollina, thus fertilizing the flower. The lady's slipper is also known in the States as the moccasin flower, from its resemblance to a moccasin.
