Here's what's blooming this week!
Surprise Lilies
Lycoris squamigera

Every year around this time, the Surprise Lilies appear at the Homestead The grey-green foliage appears in spring but dies back by summer. In late August, the slender stems rise up and surprise us with clusters of fragrant, pink star-shape flowers.
FROM THE HOMESTEAD'S COLLECTIONS
The Battle of Stonington & Frederic Denison's Silver Box
This is a small box 2" x 3"x 1" made from very light silver. The hinged lid is decorated with a shell design and the bottom is engraved with the name Frederic Dennison 1814. We believe this box either belonged to or was made in memory of Frederic Denison, who died at 19 in 1814 from wounds sustained in the Battle of Stonington.

SLY FOX DEN
      One of our Denison Farmers Market guest chefs, Chef Sherry Pocknett, is working on getting her new Native American themed restaurant, Sly Fox Den Restaurant, ready to open on Poquetanuck Bay in Preston, Connecticut. Sherry has been a popular guest chef at the market over the past several years demonstrating making dishes with Native American style. All who sampled the items she made, such as quahog chowder or crab cakes with lobster sauce, were impressed. While her restaurant building is undergoing restoration, Sherry is selling her Native American cuisine from her food truck parked at the restaurant location at 143 Route 2A in Preston. Sherry is serving from 12:00 noon until 6:00 pm Tuesdays through Sundays.
