a small, fairly wild patch filled with rosa rugosa, snowberries, native goat's beard and a holly tree (ok, not so wild). And now this sweet thing is trying to bloom. It will have to fight off the deer, however, that are constantly pruning my unfenced front yard. (And I live in the city, honestly....deer, raccoons, rabbits....what next?!) Anyway I hope it makes it because I do love the seed pods. We'll see.
In the meantime, I snapped this shot this morning (loving my iPhone!!) and played with it in Photoshop. (Content from 2lil owls and Anna Aspnes)
Another beautiful sunny day. No complaints from this end!!! It's all good.
Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back.
I know this plant as Honesty, I think. It was a great favourite of my much-loved grandmother's and so I think of it with much pleasure. We have none growing in our garden here but are currently engaged in remodelling some over-grown flower beds and will add it to our list of annuals to plant once soil is visible! Thank you for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Margaret. Do try and fit in some of these plants.....so lovely in winter arrangements! And fun to stitch with or draw into sketchbooks!
DeleteWe used to call it Money Plant as kids...the seed pods sort of look like money disks! Let the sun shine on!! Good to hear from you :)
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, I used to call it Money Plant as well! And yes, let's hear it for these gorgeous sunny days!
