I went up to check on that special woodland spot and yes! The winter aconites are in bloom. Not native but they’ve naturalized in those woods so still cool to find!

Orange day-lily (Hemerocallis fulva); also called ditch lily, tawny lily, corn lily, and tiger day-lily (among other names).

My sad little tomato plants were finally on the way out, and I needed to get the garden prepped before I left town, so I ended up sending them to the chlorophyll afterlife and tucked their empty pot under the table until next year. The Chrysanthemum has now taken pride of place next to the Celosia. I'll miss my little garden while I'm gone, but I'm glad my partner and my neighbors get to enjoy it.

A couple of slipper orchids in bloom right now. The small one on the left is chamberlainianum and the one on the right is what they call a Maudiae, a kind of hybrid of multiple species. For some reason the other bud on it is growing its stem really tall. You can see it going off on the right.
