[Magdalen] Garden report

[cantor03 at aol.com]

I yearn for my back yard in Wisconsin which was covered in the spring with  Nodding triliam,Bloodroot, and in the wetter areas Marsh marigolds, Jack-in-the Pulpits, and Swamp cabbage.And in the midst of it all, a natural spring with ice cold water filled with delicious watercress.
