A Bog Post

Once upon a time there was nothing but lawn in the side yard.

So Steve dug a hole.

This post is about what we filled it with.


The Bog, all filled up with bog plants.


Arrow-Head, Sagittarius engelmanniana, leaf ...


... and flower.


Pipewort.


Marsh St. John's-Wort, Hypericum virginicum.


Spatulate-Leaf Sundew, Drosera intermedia.


Meadow Beauty, Rhexia virginica.


Pitcher Plant, Sarraenia purpurea.


Carolina Yellow-Eyed Grass, Xyris caroliniana.


Threadleaf Sundew, Drosera filiformis.


Sphagnum moss.


Orange Milkwort, Polygaia lutea.


Rhynchrospora sp.


Coppery St. John's-Wort, Hypericum denticulatum.

This is just a sampling of the plants in the bog. And both we, and mother nature, will be adding more. It really is a nice addition to our gardens.
