Five prairie lilies now in bloom, thanks to the neat lady at the farmer's market who has been growing wildflowers for sale for, oh, at least ten years now. Last year, at last, she turned up with young lilies, and I scooped the lot. Now I have the pleasant task of fine-tuning the wildflower bed so the lilies have good groundcover around them -

Cat's tails are a nice addition, if you have a wet spot. I know it is illegal to dig up a plant, but taking some of the seeds isn't a crime.

Meanwhile I harbour a wild fantasy: some total stranger will appear at my door, saying, "I couldn't help noticing your native wildflower bed, so healthy, so varied, and since I'm moving to Barbados next week I'd like you to be mom for my ladyslipper collection. Here. Look. I've been nurturing them for a decade and I have quite a clump. It's an awesome responsibility but they're yours."
