Broad-leaved Helleborine(Epipactis helleborine)小河蘭
This is one of the common native orchids in Ontario, Canada. I see them free flowering in July/August under big trees.

巴西耐寒的大花西番蓮Brazilian Passion Flower Vine (Passiflora caerulea)

Zone 5! They are the ones I really want! In the past, I have only seen the tropical ones (Zone 9) selling in the nurseies and garden centres. This year I decide to grow from seeds. After one month sitting in the freezer and then plant them in the supermarket mushroom container with some soil, I then place whole thing in a clear plastic bag. Daytime put near heat register so it is quite warm, put them in the fridge to keep cool at night before I go to sleep. They are in and out of my fridge for 2 weeks now, I saw the first sprout (the pink one)today!

一般園藝店賣的都不耐寒. 除了秋末要整大盆搬進屋渡過漫長的冬天外就是當一年生的將它賜死,因為植株不便宜所以今年看到這耐寒品系就決定來孵種子了!

冰箱冷凍了一個月後拿出來種在洋菇盒裡的淺土,再用透明塑膠袋紮起來放在溫暖的地方. 睡前再整包冰進冰箱冷藏. 早上再拿出來. 如此2周就可發芽,今天已有一顆有芽了!

雖是園藝觀賞種,但果實依然可食用.–就是不知是否好吃?

十一月花園November Garden

Clematis ‘Comtesse de Bouchard’

: Spiderwort 大花鴨跖草

Toadlily 台灣油點草(白色葉緣)

本來在想要不要續寫十一月花園的,因為零下的低溫已經讓大部份的花草睡覺去也…但是這也更顯得耐寒花期長的花草植物還有顏色更彌足珍貴了.

英國薰衣草,玫瑰花,金銀花,毛地黃,野生直立的風鈴草,塊莖小芝麻,菊花,金盞花,Coreopsis,台灣油點草,鐵線蓮,矮性荷包牡丹,銀蓮花(秋牡丹),大花鴨跖草,多年生高性福祿考,大波斯菊,貓薄荷,天人菊…等加上室內的蟹爪仙人掌也盛開中. 有的雖仍綻放但是花量已經很少,作為參考倒是很容易能和其他月份比較.

不知是我家照顧的好(肥料用的很多!!)或是其他原因,其實我看不到別人家的花園除了秋菊還有花在開的…
