I originally drove out to Garden in the Woods- which is all the way in Framingham- to try and get some pictures of Mountain Laurel. unfortunately, it wasn’t blooming yet. But I got some great pictures none-the-less. It’s about a mile loop through the woods, where there’s a pond (with frogs!), a stream, and cultivated gardens of both native and rare species. I was very happy to see lady slippers 9and yellow ones, too). I had just commented to Rob the day before that we had them in our woods growing up and I hadn’t seen any in a long time.
