Re: Ground Orchid
Jim, I looked it up and the images I saw of the leaves alone were enough to
create a desire for the plants. The flowers are beautiful. I just love
those little surprises, most of them in spring, when a long-awaited plant
blooms. I am eager to see my first Epimedium flowers this spring. And I
hope I don't miss the Bloodroot. It's such a grand surprise when you round
the corner and notice that new leaf, or the long-awaited flower spike.
Even though I can't grow much of anything you do, I enjoy it when you
mention these items. It spurs me on to take a look at something I might
never have thought to look up. Thanks!
Kitty
