More photos from Garden in the Woods

[Heather]

I've been trying to take more walks for all of you.
It's been great for my sanity this week. oke:

A green Araesima (I butchered the spelling didn't I?)

A nice variegated Solomon's Seal for Jon.

No clue but I liked it and the photo came out okay! woohoo! (I have troubles with white...)

I am falling for ferns...maidenhair

Blue starflower I think?

Finally,a pretty Azalea and Cyps

Will put the rest of the Cyps in a different thread. Enjoy!

 

[Heather]

oops, one more non-green Araesima (feel free to id if you know!)

 

[Ron-NY]

The "No clue but I liked it and the photo came out okay! woohoo! (I have troubles with white...)" Is Trillium grandiflorum but a double which I have never seen before...cool!!

Nice pics:clap: thanks for sharing

Thanks for walking for us

Oh! Sweet! I wondered cause of the leaves but the petals, well, there seemed to just be so many of them....

Glad you are enjoying them. I am enjoying taking them!

Heather, I'm not familiar with eastern plants... are these all natives?

 

[Heather]

Yes, but I'm not familiar with them either!
Hoping to learn from some of you who are! I am reading signs but alas, I'm not growing them so I don't have the latin down yet...

The double trilium is great....I understand the blossums of the doubles last longer, because they are sterile.
This makes it all the more desirable for cultivation. I think I have heard they take on a more pinkish hue as they age also.

I'm pretty sure that the only native species of Arisaema are dracontium and triphyllum, so I'd be content with calling both Arisaema triphyllum.

 

[Heather]

Arisaema are about past I'm afraid. Tried to get another photo today but the sun wasn't with me.

Got a flame azalea photo and a nice lupine blooming...

Love the Solomon's Seal, I have the same cultivar

Especially love the Silene!

Jon

Um, which is that? Help me learn my latin names.

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

The last one you posted. I think the common name is catchfly.

[ohio-guy]

I think that last photo is a fire pink

 

[Heather]

I thought it was a wild lupine! That's what the label said. oke:

Nope! Silene virginica.

*SIGH* I can't wait to have land to start my native plant garden. That confused trilllium is cool. The fern is Adiantum pedatum. Zach's got the right ID on that catchfly. Don't most cultivated Azaelas originate from Australia? I think the azaelas are some of the only non native plants GITW uses.

 

[Heather]

Nope! Silene virginica.

Right-o, Fire Pink.


I have a dorky new project I'm working on to try to learn all of these American wildflowers. But I don't want to mention it cause you'll think I'm a total dork.

My project is more fun.
