Now! On to nicer things......

This is my "Monkshood" plant. Have had it for many years...
This photo is, actually, of two of the long-stemmed sections I dug up and moved here 3 years ago.

Every year--it grows healthy as can be--and then, close to Fall, it starts
rotting out at the roots. Don't know why! The blooms come so late--but they are pretty.
I am lucky if I see one or two blooms of this any given year...

Perhaps I should spray it regularly with some kind of a Fungicide on the roots?

I hear this plant is also very toxic IF ingested.....Seems there are SO many!!!!
