I bought this flowering plant at a native plant sale in 2012 in Dallas. It has reseeded in my yard every year since then!
ha! well that turned out to be a great investment! say, does your husband love flowers as well or does he leave that all up to you?
It's basically one of my hobbies and passions! He enjoys seeing the butterflies that the flowers and plants bring to our yards - we have a large picture window onto our backyard from our gameroom turned into computer room. He takes care of the mowing of the grass. trimming our trees and I do all of the planting of the flowers. He will go to the plant sales to help me load up plants and heavy soil!
howdy back again violetmed! by "heavy soil" you mean enriched or fertilized or something? are you saying your office faces the garden because that sounds wonderful!
Ha ha, no any big bag of garden soil is too heavy for me to lift and and load into a shopping cart or our trunk! Yes, our office window faces our backyard flower garden!
oh ok by heavy soil you really mean heavy soil! lol. is there anything to look at in your garden in the winter time so the view will be nice all winter?
Well, in the fall there will be a few flowers, but in the winter, we just enjoy seeing the blue sky through the bare tree limbs. Of course, we have green leaves on flowers and plants until our first hard freeze which might not be until late December some years! :)
that's true, one thing about this part of Texas is the winter is only two months basically!
