Orchids

I love orchids - those exotic, many varied epiphytes growing high above the trees in their native state. Of course, in Ottawa, we only see them in pots at the grocery store. Also wonderful!

But did you know we have some native varieties? The pretty pink lady slipper (which I have never seen) and, a wild green elfin one. What does it look like? This!

                                             

This was the latest, exciting thing to grow in the drain pipe corner. Prior to this I had: lily of the valley and white violets, then columbines, then primroses, and now two wild orchids!



Maybe I should call this the Magic Corner!!

M is for....

M is for mystery! There is a neglected spot (yes, one of many!) behind the house that, last year, had a healthy crop of deadly nightshade (swiftly pulled out by me when discovered - I have little children!). This year there is milkweed growing profusely, which makes me happy because, monarch butterflies and all. A neglected spot...wouldn't it benefit from the addition of some POPPIES??? I love poppies, I love them so much. The red silken skirts of the blooms, the black eyes, the leaves that look prickly but aren't. Such romance to them. I picture golden fields of wheat, with scarlet poppies dancing amongst them. And, of course, the poppies of Flanders Fields, the poem which always makes my eyes prickle. Poppies were always in the plan for this garden, no matter how long we stay here (or don't). And so, I planted poppies! The first place I put them was in a small brick-encircled patch in the main backyard (more on that later) in early May (about 8 weeks ago). I al...
