  • Surprise in my garden!

    I have one part of garden that my dream was to be a woodland garden and I wanted nothing in it if it didn't grow in the forest. I started this project about 3 years ago and ordered several bare root Cinnamon ferns. When I emptied the bag and inspected the roots there was one that didn't look like the others, but I planted it anyway.

    The plant came up the next spring and had only 3 leaves and to me it looked like a trillium, which is another woodland wild flower that I would not mind having in the garden but it never bloomed. For the past 3 years the plant came up with the 3 leaves and never bloomed.

    The other day I was poking around in the garden and noticed this year it has bloomed and it was definitely not what I thought but something better! A Jack in the Pulpit!! These are pretty rare in our forest, and I got so excited when I saw it. These can grow up to 2 feet tall, but this one is very tiny. The bloom is probably the size of my pinky. I'm sure it was grow bigger each year.







    And my lilies are starting to bloom, too. Never fails...they bloom every year when we go on vacation and I miss some of them.

    The pink ones always bloom first








    Thanks for looking
    Becky

        Very nice....The damn voles ate all my asian lillys 10 years ago and i never replanted,,,,I even planted them in cages...

        I have tried getting JIP to grow in my yard,but they like it better near water around here... Real treat to walk near the swamp areas when they are blooming...

                    sweet Maggsie!!! about 10 years ago i dug some jacks from my woods, along with some blood flowers, a cupla trilliums, and some wild yellow and purple violets. i have this little northeast corner along the house and is shady with a big pine. those things took off in that corner and are growing really good. got jacks bet get close to 3 feet tall, 2.5 for sure. they always go to seed or whatever with the red golfballs. if ya want more lemme know, maybe we can trade...

                      Becky that is a beautiful flower garden. I could sit back with a six pack and enjoy the tranquility.
