Normally we don't venture much into the swamp during the summer.
It's hard to move around, and we don't like to disturb the many wild creatures.
But on a recent brief foray we found a considerable patch of indian pipe, a.k.a. corpse plant or ice plant.
We have found individual plants here and there before, but this is our first patch. The above is one stand of several in a small area.
Country Supper Storytelling Concerts
Good Food, Good Listening, and Good Company in Northern Bruce Peninsula
Our 2010 (ninth) Season is winding down, and will end with Shakespeare's The Tempest on Sunday, September 5th. A very special thanks to all who came to dine and listen this summer. We enjoyed your company, and are most grateful for your support.
We will celebrate our tenth season in 2011, and are working on the plans already: Country Supper Storytelling Concerts of course, and maybe some new ideas too.
We look forward to seeing you.
