Hi everyone,
I have 2 questions (or several questions on 2 subjects?)
My grandma recently offerred me a piece of her yellow lady slipper. It's a
good size clump and it's done blooming now. When and how is the best way
for me to take some?
She also offered some of ONE of her THREE red flowering Trilliums. This is
one with the flowers held high above the leaves and they kind of lean to one
side. She also has 2 others, the mottled leafed one where the flower doesn't
open up (is that toad trillium?) and a plain green leaf one that she says
flowers funny, not opening up either? It was hard to tell from the spent
flowers. Does anyone know what species these 3 might be?
Thanks,
