Have you ever discarded/thrown away a semi living plant…only to see it thrive in the garbage pit?
Such is the story for this geranium. A nice blooming surprise.
I’ve been working on some interior/paper blooms. I know… me…using paper is ironic. I am making up for this misuse of our trees in other ways. Promise.
No, we are not having a fiesta…but a FESTIVAL of FUN. A celebration. I was trying to keep within a small color scheme…but then I have Lo and Linds…and they really admire the ENTIRE rainbow. This party will be for LO, so I will allow the entire rainbow. (thank you Dawn!!!)
What did you do this weekend???

Once I threw a poinsettia out into the pond next to the house we were living in, and it sprang back to life! We enjoyed a beautiful red poinsettia in the middle of the pond for a few days until it sank.

That's lovely – and perfect for a fiesta! Please take pics of the entire set-up, before the party. =)We had a quiet weekend, and a good one. Took a beach walk, went to the Farmer's Market, watched the Preakness, etc.

I had some iris bulbs that sat in the garage, unplanted, for six years. I threw them out on the compost pile and the next spring, beautiful white iris!!

LOL because I used to do the very same thing. My husband loved telling me another of my plants had found new life outside.

OMgosh I had a clump of King Richard Leeks growing where I dumped the old soil from last year. Was I surprised, especially since they never got much bigger than chives and were useless. Transplanted them in the fenced area…maybe they'll actually grow this year. ;<)
