This Foam Flower is blooming very nicely along the top of the big retaining wall. Foam Flower will take some shade and is an alternative to non-native Astilbe.
The Bluets that went to seed (lower clump) are more white than their parents (upper clump).
The Virginia Strawberries planted along the bank are doing well. Our domestic strawberries are crosses between this native strawberry, which had tasty but tiny berries, and European strawberries, which had large but bland-tasting berries.
This Red Trillium is just about done.
Jack-in-the-Pulpit.
Woodland Phlox are just starting to open up. Deer love these!
Eklund Garden is located at 10 Oak Valley Road, within the Shelton Lakes Greenway, in Shelton, CT. It's a short hike from the Hope Lake Picnic area (white trail, then left on the blue trail).
I'm the Shelton Conservation Agent, sheltontrails.org webmistress, and a letterboxer & geocacher. These pursuits often take me out exploring in the field.
