Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things People Grow

I grow flowers. I don’t do it in any organized way, but somehow, they grow. I grow things in pots — inside and outside. I have a wild rose and daylily garden that suddenly has become a huge rhododendron garden and we have the biggest holly bush I’ve seen.

I’ve got some very old lilacs, a few very young lilacs, astilbe and goat’s beard, a few random daffodils, and crocus. There used to be others, but they didn’t survive. At one point, I had an amazing display of hollyhocks, but one year, they withered and died and I don’t have any idea why.

      And they really ARE what we grow. We used to grow more kinds of flowers, but time and lack of agility to care for them have reduced them to the hardiest survivors. These are all plants that will grow — no matter WHAT.

    Beautiful photos, Marilyn, I don’t know what it is, but I find flowers are a real mood lifter.
