'Twas a Good Day
Last spring, a Japanese cobra lily (Arisaema sikokianum) followed me home from Hideko Gowen's stall at the Minneapolis Farmer's Market. It was simply too stunning, too beautiful to do anything else.
To my joy, it survived the winter and is now happily blooming at the base of the Bonus Rock here at Toad Woods. I noticed it at dusk Wednesday evening, the white Jack (spadix) glowing in the light cast from the garage. I'll try to get a reasonable snapshot in daylight and post it soon.
In other news, I loaded 240 pounds of water softener salt into my car, then hauled it indoors and downstairs where it's now doing its thing and saving the laundry from an unwelcome rusty tint. Said laundry is sorted and has slowly started making its way from pile to washer to dryer and back into the basket, clean and folded.
It's good to be home.
