Here is the new Hybrid Trilliums 2026 article.  It will be my final one on the subject.  

If I see interesting subject matter in nature or run across some earth shattering study I may include it in trip reports about Spring flowers, but I doubt I'll put out anymore studies.

I will be having surgery June  8th,  and will not be able to swim for 6 weeks.  

Thankfully our beach trip is  prior to my surgery.   I love swimming so this is going to be rough. 

 

  To keep myself out of trouble  while I cannot swim I will be focusing on the Country Store Blog series. I will also start a new series about Favorite Back Roads.  

I am planning the Lily Edition 2026. I think it's gonna be great!  If you'd like your photos featured or a visit to your lily garden please contact me.  Plans thus far are Sunshine Hollow, UT Plateau Discovery Gardens, and hopefully Linda & Sam Hassler's private garden if they are agreeable.
