          My bank account includes a "lifestyle benefit" you can choose from a number of options. For several years now I have chosen a subscription to "Garden Answers" magazine. It always comes with one packet of free seeds and I love receiving it and finding what they are.

          This is the first of the year's flowers from those seeds, Marigold "Scarlet Sophie". Something I wouldn't have gone out and bought, but they've been easy and interesting to grow. 2024-05-23_18-04-56_cropped.jpg

                      Man Orchid still going strong and it's been joined by the first Bee Orchid of the year, all the result of no mow summers, the rest of our very modest front lawn is full of ox eye daisies. IMG_20240526_170041.jpg IMG_20240526_170014~2.jpg

                          A couple of Fuchsias, but the photos did not fully capture their full vibrancy.

                              @Scroggin Fabulous photos continue of the wild orchids. Amazing that you are finding so many in beautiful condition and habitat.
