Yet another week of not-spring has gone by…but I’m feeling optimistic. Looking very forward toย sunshine-filled summer hiking trips and a possible sighting of this fascinating Alberta wildflower, striped coralroot (Corallorhiza striata). To find out why this plant isn’t green, check out a previous post I did about coralroots way back in 2013.

Enjoy your weekend! ย What projects are you working on (gardening or otherwise)?
