The wild transferred trilliums have been taking their sweet time. I have finally started to spot them. They can be hard to find in the emerging cacophony of green, even when I know where to look.
A little flash of color helps. They pretty much have to be up and unfurled before I see them. It is the distinctive leaf shape that catches my eye. Then I check for reproduction. I'm seeing some of that. That thrills me too.
I'm beginning to think this rescue is a puny Showy Orchis. I will know shortly once the flowers open. It isn't anywhere near as robust as the one I transferred out of the deep forest into the garden last year, but then it was living in an abusive situation, not a fine forest.
I kind of hope it is something different. I already have a Showy Orchis and plenty more I can visit in the deep forest. But if that is what it is, I won't boot it out of the garden.
My garden makes me happy. I even enjoy the editing for the most part.
As the time of the Lush draws near.
