A couple of years ago my wife and I saw a beautiful little clump of pink ladies slippers in a vacant lot. The lot was to be developed so, even though they are a protected species, I decided to rescue them. So, at dusk we went up and dug them up, brought them home and planted them.<BR/>They took almost right away and gave us lovely blossoms throughout the season. The next year they had seeded themselves and we ended up with about a dozen lovely plants.<BR/>This year they seeded themselves, and seeded themselves, and seeded themselves to the nth power and we have about 47 trillion ladies slippers growing in our side garden, in the lawn, in other gardens far away with a veritable Frankenstein's monster of ladies slippers. Be careful what you wish for.<BR/><BR/>IanIan Lidsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106994463366766471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-89978703604997764452007-05-03T13:48:00.000-07:002007-05-03T13:48:00.000-07:00HinSF - I mentioned you in my post yesterday, with...HinSF - I mentioned you in my post yesterday, with total admiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-3244292275298634372007-05-03T11:14:00.000-07:002007-05-03T11:14:00.000-07:00Pam,Don't go rappeling at night.I like your way of...Pam,<BR/><BR/>Don't go rappeling at night.<BR/><BR/>I like your way of putting it, "adopting flowers."
