DANSE INFERNALE


Pictured below the Mohonk Fire Brigade assists the gardeners by burning our ornamental grasses.

This saves us valuable clean up time in the spring, and the plants seem to come back even stronger. Please note, the trucks are on hand to squelch the flames -so safety is assured.

Safety first at Mohonk!

MEANWHILE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE, the earliest of the spring ephemeral are peeking through like these Corydalis solida, that were planted two falls ago. They seem to be content. Dry soil in the summer seems to be the key.

And where did we acquire them? Scheeper's of course!
