Each Spring a New Beginning

It has been a good deal of time since I have added to this blog. But finally spring has arrived and plants are in bloom in my garden again. I've been out getting the garden ready for summer enjoyment and have been enjoying every minute of it. Some of the early show in the garden are my pride and joy, my pink ladyslippers. These were rescued from the bulldozers which created the building lots in the woods behind our house. Lady slippers are very particular. They take ten years to form a bloom and if picked they won't bloom again (or at least for another 10 years or something to that effect). This plant rarely survives transplanting. It also uses a fungus in the soil to absorb nutrients from the soil. So here for your viewing pleasure are my pink lady slippers!
