Cooler

Cooler and sunny today, but still around 70...

Planted 2 Lysichiton americanus in Pond. Hope the nematodes don't get them, too! :(

Also tried to hand-pollinate the Cypripedium acaule flowers and Iris cristata, but couldn't find much pollen... perhaps it isn't there yet.

**Germination notes: Tinantia erecta, Salvia penstemonoides, Hibiscus laevis, Campanula americana, and Talinum paniculatum germinated in dish from 5/6. Borago officinalis alba and Agrostemma githago sprouted in dish from 5/9.

Noticed that what I thought was Viola macloskeyi coming back in Woodland Area 1 is actually not, but some other unknown purple violet - however, I did noticed a small Viola macloskeyi plant blooming under the Trillium patch!

Tonight is supposed to be rather cold (in the mid-30's) but very windy, I hope nothing gets frosted!
