Look what we found in the garden this morning!
A huge snapping turtle nestled in among the peppers.
At first we thought she dropped by for a bite to eat.
Upon closer inspection we found the real reason for her visit! A new egg to research!Monday, June 15, 2009

Cup and Saucer Canterbury Bells
Campanula medium (Bellflower)
These are biennial. They flower the second year . A great lesson in garden patience!
These were on of the first flowers imported to America in colonial times. Thomas Jefferson kept them in his garden at Monticello. ( just some nerdy garden info for you.)
In this picture you can see how the bottom petals flair out to form a saucer.
