Coreopsis, sundrops, veronica...all freebies




The veronica and the sundrops are mingled, the former just showing its flowers like white drops of sap. Soon they become long droopy white spikes (Is that the right word? racemes? I'll have to look it up.)

Hi Priscilla,

I like your blog so much that I added a link in my own (see this link to CooperStreetViews.blogspot.com). I'll be checking in, your blog makes me happy.

Thanks a bunch,

Terry

oh you got spammers, delete those, Hurry

Cheryl said...

What a lovely grouping! Your veronica droops down? I've never seen that type before, only the upright version.

It's funny how tastes change, when I first started gardening I had no use for yellow, now I love having splashes of it here & there throughout my garden.

Kristen said...

I have those yellow flowers too

Terry Graves said...

No spam. Just a link to let Priscilla know that I loved her blog. Wish good intentions would be taken as such.

Priscilla, I do hope you understand that this is a compliment.

Thanks Cheryl and Kristen. I love the clear yellow of the sundrops. They and the coreopsis were "weedlings" from last summer. A few of us work in the gardens at church, weeding, deadheading, planting, etc. Sometimes we botanically rewarded ourselves.

Berto and Terry: I'm going to delete you unless you can prove you are friends of friends. How did you get to my blog? You have 24hours to respond.

Kristen said...

I wasn't sure about Terry but Berto xxx is a spammer for sure, sorry

Priscilla said...

How do you know, Kristen?

Hi Priscilla:

I am not a friend of a friend; I found your blog by clicking "Next Blog" at the top of my own site on Blogspot.

As you don't seem to want anyone you don't know on your blog, I will respect that. I am deleting all information about you from my site and won't visit again.

Sorry to have inconvenienced you; I truly was trying to pay you a compliment.

Sincerely,

Terry

It's a sad but undeniable fact of our world today that you have to be cautious, especially over the internet.

Kristen said...

I have seen Berto before and I think Cheryl has too, I had that one on mine, Terry I did check and she has a blog, I didn't really sit down and read it but sorry she looks to be ok, not totally sure but she is from Ny, It's so hard to tell

Priscilla said...

Yeah it's hard to tell about people from NY. I'm from somewhere else, still.
I'll leave Terry's comments up there for now in case anyone wants to follow up.

In TX, "rose rustling" was a favorite practice. People would go out exploring to locate the original old homesteads of the first folks to move west - they frequently brought flowers with them. Over the years of desertion, the roses seemed particularly adaptable to surviving on their own. There is quite a catalog of their finds - tough plants for sure!

Terry seems like an interesting person - however, I don't understand how your blog could have been located by the "next blog" feature - unless you do not have, in your settings, a field checked that keeps Blogger from publishing the existence of your blog??
