columbines 2009

I found the columbines growing on their own on the property here, in two or three places. I brought them into my garden, first with a few roots, then by seed. These ones here are all from seed now. They're very easy. I just collect and broadcast the seed in the same few weeks. They do beautifully, with no extra care, besides some compost occasionally. The Cerastium tomentosum, or Snow in summer, (little white flowered ground cover) was also found on the property, as was the yellow Welsh poppy and white Spiraea bush. The Welsh poppy I grew from broadcasted seed. The Cerastium I pull up in small handfuls, pull apart, and plant wherever I want it, without ever watering it. It's extremely easy as well. I can't really be bothered with plants that require babying! There's so many easy ones in existence anyway. I found the Solomons Seal here too. It's also called the giant Lily of the Valley. The white flowered bush in the last scenes is a native Hawthorne, related to apples, and in the Rose family, like apples as well.

@nacht98 I love it too. Thank you. I still have five of them stored in my friends' yard. When I have a piece of land again I'll save the seeds and have a load of them again.

Thanks. Good. :)  Yes, it is very peaceful. It's like living in a campground. It used to be a boys and girls scout camp 40 years ago. There were Black Bears here back then. Hardly any houses. I'm glad I can do people some good by sharing it this way.
