Next to the water garden is a sustainable classroom. All the rain water is suppose to go into the garden. You can see where it was flooding the field to release it I dug a channel through the gravel( low tech).
On Monday i wandered over to the water garden. It had been raining heavily in the Portland area. I wondered how the garden was doing. I found that the stream was flowing heavily and the wet land was flooded almost to the over flow pipe. This is the first time in years that water has flooded to that point.
Today I saw a new flower in the garden. It was a japanese iris. It was growing beneath the solar panel. This is also the home for strawberries and day lillys. Another interesting adventure involved the witnessing of a bee working the lupine flowers. The lupin are of the pea family and feature a flower that resembles a slipper. Inside the slipper are the pollen laden stamen. When the bee land on the flower its weight pushes down the the slipper section revealing the stamen nectar areas.. Check out the movie
