Yellow Crack Flowers: Genus Mysteriosa, a perennial flower found growing in cement cracks.

In my latest “Name That Flower!” here is a very pretty yellow flower that is blooming from the cracks in the steps in front of the cellar. They started blooming yesterday.

There’s another huge batch of them growing in a proper location in the garden on the other side of the studio.

It’s the same plant, but there isn’t as much light on this side of the studio, so these aren’t blooming yet.

I call them yellow crack flowers, but I’m sure you have another name for them. Tell me about it!

Clover would love to see you!

Rolling out lots of plans lately with the studio project winding down. I can’t do a Bed & Breakfast or Farm Stays yet. (Hopefully in the not too distant future I will have cabins available.) But I can do Camp & Breakfast! I’m opening registration for camp site rentals at Sassafras Farm (summertime only, limited availability), including … Continued…

It has rained here so much for the last few weeks–nearly every day–that everything is bedraggled. Including the dogs.

We had a little power outage here yesterday afternoon/evening, so I never did get to the Daily Farm yesterday. I still have to remind myself when there is a power outage that I don’t have to worry … Continued…
