It looks just like we wanted it to!

Everytime we go to the woods we find something new!
For those wishing to find these fine fellows in Sullivan Woods, the Sundew is in the bog, the Purple Passionflower is growing up the "tepee" at the end of Dogwood trail, the Yellow Passionflower is growing up the large tree at the end of the driveway leading to the generator enclosure, and the Pinesap is growing in the area of the exercise equipment on the east side and is marked by white flags.

| Pinesap (Monotropa hypopithys) -photo by Linda Lafferty This is a very unusual looking plant ( rare or endangered if Wikopedia is to be believed) it is not a fungus, but rather an herbaceous plant without chlorophyll, thought to live off fungus. |
165 New Babies are prepared for Sullivan planting in the fall
 |
| First you have to mix the potting soil, then fill the pots. |
 |
| These seeds were sown back in February ( see Feb 26 post), some spent time in our refrigerators to simulate winter before being put in our backyard nurseries. |
 |
| These will live in our nurseries until fall, when the weather moderates. |
