CLOUDY BUT CLEARING
NORTHWOODS NURSERY
CANADA MAYFLOWER
FALSE SOLOMON'S SEAL
THE LUPINES ARE BLOOMINGWednesday, 7:15 AM. 60.5 degrees. Wind W, gusty . There is .25” of rain in the gage and the sky is overcast but the barometer predicts mostly sunny skies.
Some big pines and spruce have been cut in a vacant lot on 9th St., and the groundcover plants have surged in growth. Canada mayflower (also called wild lily-of-the-valley), Maianthemum canadense, and false Solomon’s seal, Smilacina racemosa, both in the Lily family, are blooming profusely.
The trip to the Northwoods Nursery was pleasant, and we brought back a truckload of roses and blueberries. The lupines are blooming and should be impressive this year.
The big bear that came through our yard last week camped out on a neighbor’s deck for too long a time last Sunday afternoon. He is probably wearing out his welcome.
