In love with Lupine. Another amazing (sort of) perennial. They are short-lived so I plant them every year. These are Russell hybrids.

Peonies may take a bit longer this spring? Send us your pics, if you have open buds already.

In the 1930s, a young teacher with a passion for wildflowers lived in Marilla Michigan. We don't always know the impact our lives will have during our lifetime or after... A historical lecture will be held at Mills Community House (891 Michigan Ave, Benzonia) & via Zoom on Thurs, June 11, 7pm: "More Than a Marm: The Power of One Person to Leave a Lasting Legacy". This presentation by Douglas Glick, Marilla Historical Society President, is about the gift of one woman who's legacy of "a selfish pursuit" became one of the most prized artifacts at the Marilla Historical Society -- still in use today, nearly 100 years after it was created.
