Yellow Lady Slipper in Zone 3 - Winnipeg
Background: moved into a 1/2 acre urban property last fall, so everything
that's coming up is a surprise, more or less. I remember a few things that were growing, but foolishly neglected to take pictures of the place (what can I say, it was a move-from-hell). Also, it's been an extremely wet and cooler than normal spring, so I'm weeks behind in my planting schedule for my veggies. So today, the first day without rain since who knows when, I crank up the wheels on my lawnmower to the highest position to attack the weeds before roto-tilling in the proposed veggie garden, and: lo & behold - I see some gorgeous yellow blooms. Almost mowed over them. Did a Google search, and apparently they are both rare and picky as to where they grow. I'd love to transplant them to join my Hostas on the north side of the house, but I'd be devastated if they didn't survive the move. I could easily leave them where they are (hey, with 1/2 an acre, I've got lots of leeway) but they are so far from the house that they won't be enjoyed. What to do?? |
