Hey!! Look what I found. No, not the flower…this post. I wrote it over a month ago and saved as a draft instead of posting it… :mad2:
So…here it is!
Remember when I talked about the spunky survivors I painstakingly moved from a discarded planter. The portulaca was from TWO summers ago. Have no idea why it decided to come up again THIS summer. Well…
Pretty right? Well…right after I took this photo. That darn woodchuck found our upper garden and cleaned it out of petunias and portulaca. :mad2: So. Not. Amused. Well, at least I got this one photo of one bloom. Sigh. I haven’t SEEN the silly woodchuck in a few days..but I know he’s still around. Sigh.

I am such a sucker for survivors. Like this pretty cracked milk glass piece…with its tiny crack.
Like these tiny portulaca plants and petunias. They are annuals here in the midwest. But they determinedly sprouted up this year. The weird thing? The portulaca were from TWO summers ago!! In a hanging planter on the balcony rail that I wanted SuperGuy to tear down and get rid of. But I couldn’t stand to lose these spunky plants. So I dug them up and put them in a few pots in the backyard. Didn’t really think they’d make it.
But look! they are going to bloom! Wonder if they’ll come back again next year? I guess they didn’t read the gardening book on how they are annuals in our climate. Will get pretty macro shots of the blooms soon. :love:
Drop by tomorrow, I’ll actually have some photos of ME at the wedding. Who knew?? :rofl:
