Wildflowers identified on our Oregon Farm
Friend Mary hiked with me today checking out wildflowers in the Qi Gong meadow. I'm trying to figure out what kind of goldenrod we have or if we have more than one kind. I'll add to this post if I ever figure it out.
But the exciting thing was when we went into the Qi gong grove of fir trees by Agency Creek. Mary spotted a little plant with white veined leaves that I had never seen before. She identified it as Rattlesnake Plantain, in the orchid family. It's not blooming this time of year, but maybe it will in the spring! Not very spectacular little flowers but unique leaves.
On March 25, 2021, I took photos of the Chocolate Lily rising above the Valentine's weekend ice storm downfalls. It's amazing anything survived.
Here is looking toward the smashed cage over the chocolate lily site...
Here it is closer. The smashed wire cage is bottom center.
And here is the cage with the lily in the middle...
Now look again at the first photo on top. There is a broken slab sticking out to the left in the center of the photo. In the second, closer photo, that broken slab is at the very top of the photo. Below and just a bit to the left is that bigger lily.
I will continue to take photos as the lilies, hopefully, grow and bloom. At least this year they shouldn't have so much trouble with deer eating them as they are no longer on a usable deer trail!
On Easter Sunday, April 4, the lily has grown and is in bud! Several buds, in fact. It seems to like its protected location. The one inside the cage is quite small yet but trying to bud. The photo I tried to take of it did not come out.
April 11, the Chocolate Lily is almost all the way open.
April 14, both lilies blooming!
