Wednesday, 8:00 AM. 56 degrees, wind NNE, light. The channel is calm to lightly wrinkled. The sky is clear but the barometer predicts rain.
The woods across the street has large patches of false Solomon’s seal, Smilacina racemosa, growing beneath the oaks. It is very pretty in flower. The “true” Solomon’s seal has flowers borne down the stem rather than at the apex. Both are woods plants in the lily family. I have no idea whether they were used by King Solomon as his seal.
I have finally caught up pretty well with the yard and garden work, and the perennial garden, even though overgrown, is becoming quite nice.
