Lady Slipper

The Lilac may be NH's state flower, the orchid - The Lady Slipper, is NH's state wildflower.

Past years, we have had tons growing in the wooded area of our yard. This year, this is the only one!

Did you know that it is NOT illegal to pick this flower, in NH? In Massachusetts, a law passed in 1935 indicates a fine of "not more than $5" will be the punishment for digging them up or injuring them in any way.

Foxy Fox!

Well, I guess he's keeping the moles and chipmunks away from our property!

There are several more pictures of him chasing his prey around the yard!

Gardens Are Blooming!

And the deer seem to still be leaving it all alone!

The white clematis have nice buds. Maybe a week or so and they will bloom! I CAN'T WAIT! This is a new plant. I had a nice pink one but the deer had eate it so badly, it just died back. Same with a cutting I was successfully growing.

This was a Mother's Day gift to feed the hummingbirds! I have a couple that visit my feeders regularly and it's nice to have a natural option for them.

There are several lilacs on the property. They smell so good!!! No wonder New Hampshire made them it's state flower!

I also received this lupine plant for Mother's Day! Supposed to spread very easily, so I planted it with a lot of space around it.

Years ago, a friend gave me this creeping phlox plant when my mother died. It's filled in so nicely. I have even taken clumps of it and transplanted it in other parts of my garden.

These wild violets are growing everywhere! A few years ago, I selected some that would eventually be mown over and transplanted them in various places in the garden. They're also really going strong.

Hot, hot, hot out there. I am not used to the heat, but it's nice pulling weeds in the early morning while listening to the birds and watching the sprinklers.

I Knew There Were Feasters In My Garden

For my birthday, I was given a Bushnell hunting camera to track the predators in my garden. Well, it was a great birthday gift!

And that's just ONE garden! Oh they are going to be fat and happy this year.
