Wintering over inside

Robertskruid, Herb-robert

I went on a 10K walk, this morning, but, then, dropped by Frear Park & the Devil's Kitchen trail at Oakwood Cemetery (both in Troy, New York, USA), to see what was going on with the wildflowers. The trail around Bradley Lake at Frear Park is getting overgrown &, fearing deer ticks, I may not be going there much longer. The Jack-in-the-Pulpit are done, as are the Trillium. Mostly, all I saw was Dame's Rocket. At Devil's Kitchen, I saw a lot of Wild Geranium & one Yellow Star Grass plant--a first for me! One of three photos.

Part of the jungle behind my house that I refer to as my garden

Geranium maculatum is a great addition to the native shade garden. It can tolerate different soil conditions, but likes moist, organic soils. It attracts butterflies and other insects.

This is my best guess as to identity; might also be something like G. x magnificum, which is a hybrid involving platypetalum.

This photo with shows stamens that have already senesced (anthers are gone, filaments reflexed), while the five stigmatic branches are fully mature and receptive. Geraniums are 'protandrous sequential hermaphrodites' -- flowers include both male and female function, but one at a time with the male function/pollen production first (as shown in other photos here).

The castle is surrounded by eight acres of landscaped gardens, including Queen Elizabeth 1st bowling green, sweeping lawns, terraces and the 8th Earl's swimming pool, that is now an ornamental Lily Pond with a plume fountain. You can enjoy the fabulous collection of roses, huge magnolia trees and scented borders, as well as other specialist plants and shrubs in the majestic setting.
