Enchanted Highway & Yellowstone National Park filmstrip
A new filmstrip video shows photography by me and my wife of our 2017 vacation, which included visits to the Enchanted Highway of metal sculptures in North Dakota and Yellowstone National Park.
Flowers in the arboretum
My spouse and I took our first trip to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum since The Before Times recently. At a native wildflower garden, we encountered a yellow lady’s slipper and a very-late-blooming white trillium.
Native garden beauties
Two wildflower plants native to this part of the world have bloomed in my garden: wild geranium and Canada violet.
Violet of a different color
One of the violets of a color other than purple that I collected and planted last year has bloomed. It’s mostly white with a light blue tint on the inside of its petals. This is my first success in adding color diversity to my front yard violet ground cover.
More early bloomers
There’s more early bloomers happening in my garden, including grape hyacinths and violets.
