I don't know many and I'm lucky if I can match the picture from the tag to the plant growing in my yard. I do try though, but mislabelling and loosing tags makes me go bonkers. No matter what we are we can still enjoy blooms, bugs, and birds!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-45277426817894122862008-07-21T21:17:00.000-05:002008-07-21T21:17:00.000-05:00Skeeter, your blooms are really lovely - such a ni...Skeeter, your blooms are really lovely - such a nice variety, and so much color!
