It was astonishing to see the spontaneous appearance of tons of woodland wildflowers, including trillium, mayapples, celandine poppies, geraneums, etc. But the most prominent is what I called 'wild phlox'. It puts on a remarkable floral display this time of year in my deeply shaded woodland. It spreads a little rambunctiously, so I have to pull it in some areas. This year, I posted it on Plant ID forum to verify it being a phlox... oops. It's actually Dame's Rocket. At any rate, it's in full flower now. Pic #1 shows how densely it's flowering along a path through my wooded garden. #2 & 3 show how many of the blooms are variegated. I know dame's rocket can be aggressive, so I'll be a little tougher restricting it's spread. But it's still pretty. |
