Yes!!! I have positively identified it as Chimaphila umbellata, Umbellate Wintergreen thanks to you, necturus. Much appreciated. seedmoney

did you forget how to edit pix size??? i am surprised imageshack wont do it automatically on upload??? are those poison ivy vines??? for the kids sake.. if so .. i cut them at ground level.. apply generic roundup .. and then cut them at about 6 feet ... so that there was nothing left for the kids to play with ... and then reapplied the round up two or three times per year [or every time i saw that it regenerated green tissue] .. until it finally died ... and dont burn the waste.. let me know if i need explain ken

According to Dave's Garden, most of them will take PH up to 7.5, so it's hard to tell if it will work or not since I am at the edge. I did try to lower the PH a bit using some peat moss, but it's hard to tell if it will work. Sulfur may work better, but I am more concern that I will apply it incorrectly. As for the retention pond, it's big enough for fish, but it does dry up in the summer. The woodland poppy has open its flower, I immediately spray it with some repellant. I notice that my tulips have all managed to spend one day in bloom before being destroyed, and I can't tell who's doing it. I am thinking it's either the rabbit or the squirrel. Paul

Thanks, it definitely looks to be based on the info I found. I hope you’re right and that it doesn’t become something’s lunch before bloom time.
