Where did you come from ? uplanned Spring vignettes






These first photos are from the South East Side of my house. In this photo nothing obvious is in bloom. It is wild. The real floozies hang out here. Mint, White bearded Irises, and what I call 1950's Sedum. It is debauchery and I secretly love these plants. I let them do what ever they want. Shhh. 

     This Shasta Daisy and Lily are in a firm 
embrace. They are saying "You can't tear us apart !"
 and who would?


I really tried to capture what my eye sees in this combination. It is like my grapes are wearing a tutu. You can barely make out how the Aquilegia encircles the rough, woody base of the grape vines.
                                                                                                             


I never thought you would bloom, Madame Rouge. This is a "Mother's Day" cast off I found it in a grocery cart for 1.50. It was still wrapped in hot pink tin foil. 
Okay forget it Myosotis sylvatica. This is not your crowd. Of the woods I am sure. Although, it does look comfortable next to that fluffy, tiny, patch of Spirea. Be Blessed. 










These photos are from a more well behaved bed in the front my house. I wanted to get a picture of this dandelion before I dug it up. I never thought of adding yellow to this composition. 
I like it.

  1. Love it! Forget-me-knots are so sweet and make me think of my Grandmother.

  2. I am glad you found some sweet reverie here. This morning I read an article about plants we hold onto because they remind us of people we love. I have some that I dug up before new owners moved into my Grandma's house. Best, M.E.

  3. I don't mind a couple of "easy" plants in my garden as well. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment on my Bloom Day post.
