Are there 'Arisaema triphyllum' in other Continents?
The ever so charming "Jack-in-the-Pulpit", tell me my dear
friends in Europe, Asia, Australia, & South America-
do you have this interesting plant?
Or is it the "duck-billed platypus" of the North American plant world?
These are well admired in Northeast Ohio. Probably as a child when you first discover one in the forest, one really appreciates there uniqueness. It is one of those youthful "wow!' moments of discovery.

Whole Lotta Rosie!
Just Kidding- Everything Going Green and the Wild Strawberries are Double the Size This Year.
It will be a few weeks before the most beautiful flowers in Ohio bloom.
Until Sylvia's garden hits its full potential, here are a few flowers ready for their photo op.

In the ground and waiting for the sunshine.

If I had to choose between Sylvia Gani or Sylvia's Garden...
The choice is easy, the real beauty
of the flowers wins out!

If I asked you what color wild strawberry flowers are, what's your guess?
Bright yellow and the 5 days of rain
is blessing us with wild strawberries!
Is was so miserable with rain and cold I, for 5 days, I was looking for blueprints to build an ark. Unbelievably these little NE Ohio wild strawberries made it through the frost.

A Whole Bunch of Rain Came Our Way Yesterday...
One inch of rain fell in one hour.
That's 25.5 millimeters for my metric friends.

| Area behind garden normally looks like this. |
 |
| After a hard rain for one hour it changes dramatically. |
 |
| I need one of these or do I need to build an Ark? |

Herb Garden in Progress
Going to be a Great Summer with Fresh Herbs
Wild onions, Sage, Chocolate Peppermint to start.
There is a ban on rosemary & cilantro as my mom
can't stand the smell of those great herbs. :-(
No room outside- get an indoor herb garden started!
