They made friends with my Hens'Chicks that survived the winter in this non- draining, terrible place to shove a poor plant in, ceramic pot .. go figure ? Now how amazing are its flowers ?
Well .. we watch the progress of these butterfly-in-the-making caterpillers while they munch on the fennel and dill .. I stressed out today with the rain and wind they went through lately but most of them hung on tight .. phew !!!
Just a few oddities from the garden .. ;-) there are so many it is hard to choose ?

Well, they are beautiful and colourful oddities, and not all that odd!! I find it hard when I take a picture I like but have no where to put it lol.
Love portulaca plants!
Those portulacas are tough and beautiful. There is a place in Toronto, where they seed into a crack in the sidewalk, and grow and flower every year. You couldn't get it to do that if you tried!
pretty(-: I always forget about portulaca. It is very pretty. I need some(-:
Rebecca .. I actually have odder pictures that I will do an almost "pre-Halloween" post ? haha
.. but yes, some pictures are a bit "where do I put that ?" haha
Thank you meemsnyc : ) they are tough little beauties !
Deborah : ) .. that actually happened to me here with the old brick patio .. I had a table there and had plants in containers on the table but by god didn't some of the porties seed into the cracks and we had two years of them blooming there ! it was amazing : )
I think a lot of us forget portulaca Cindee .. they have been around a long time and they do get over looked .. but I seem to need them almost every year ? LOL
Portulaca is another plant that says HOME to me. My mom had it all over the rock retaining walls at our house in the country.
Hi Sandy : ) that is a nice memory to have about a plant .. I always remember daliahs were my great aunt Maria's favorite : )
