A garden with a mind of its own where the best I can do is steer it away from obnoxious choices.
Speckled Wood Lily, Clintonia umbellulata, brought in to the garden from deep in the forest.
A closeup of a hosta that followed me home for CC for a possible ID.
Wild orchids of many kinds that actually bloom.
A horribly ugly, over pruned pine offered up as a bottle tree. No? Cut it down then? Now it is mine. I'm thinking a bundled rebar trunk bent at the bottom to form legs. The top may be bent to form a small basket to hold the branches with one or two of the rebar left straight and inserted into a hole drilled in the wood.
How tall should it be? I guess that will be determined by what lengths rebar is sold in. Now I need a few more bottles. Art project.

That bright green tree/shrub looks good. It is always fun to have a good art project going in the garden. Have fun this weekend.
Love that orchid.
Thanks for the closeup of the hosta. It must be Frances Williams. I have several but they're nowhere near as contrasting!
It looks good. I use 2 tom cages upside down to make my bottle trees.
