Wordless Wednesday: Forget Me Not



More crack plants. The white forget-me-nots will not be forgotten, because they have self-sown everywhere. And once upon a time, I planted Heavenly Blue morning glories - they will be glorious again, but no longer heavenly blue. Every year, they come back smaller and more purple, some hybridization genetics thing at work.

  1. I love crack plants. I also love surprises like surprise sunflowers and dill that suddenly appear in my garden from last year's seeds.

  2. I have a real fondness for self-selecting plants. My dad's garden has some long-gone-wild rusty tulips under the lilacs. None of use dare dig them up.

    Who wouldn't want to admire such strong survivors?
