New York Ironweed

Deptford Pink - a lovely introduced plant.

In spite of no rain and no watering system, there is still lots of beauty in our gardens. Wildflowers are mostly adaptive and will survive!

On Thursday June 4, I visited our gardens for the first time since the snow melted. There is a lot of clean-up that is needed. And the invasive plants are running rampant. However, there are lots of healthy looking plants. And what hasn’t come up, perhaps is giving us a message I don’t like this location. Move me. The Christmas Fern is flourishing. The Solomon Seal is looking really regal. Black Cohash is taking over one of the central beds. The Cup-plant, Jerusalem Artichoke, and Culver’s root are very healthy. And all the ferns are beautiful. Can’t wait to see the gardens after a day of cleanupwhich hopefully will be REAL SOON!

Large-flowered Bellwort

SHARP-LOBED HEPATICA--one of the first flowers to push through the snow to greet the sun. The flowers usually appear by mid April.

Wildflower Gardeners are in "winter mode" - using these quiet months to learn, discuss and plan. Bring a lunch and join us at our meetings (inside) at the Wye Marsh every second week for workshops and discussions. The next get-together is January 30, 12:00 noon to 2:30 pm.

The gardeners created wreaths, swags, and arrangements using live greens, cones, berries. just in time to start their Christmas decorating.

This is for Laura. I started this from seed taken from a plant in the parking lot gardens at the Wye Mash. It took 2 years but it is gorgeous. I am pretty certain that this is an azure aster. Can you confirm.
