Our crepe myrtle by our deck is blooming now and we see it every time we are in the kitchen. The hummers have feeders stationed in this myrtle. It is a very busy tree.
The next two images are of a fuzzy Jew and a mother-in-law plant on our deck. The fuzz reminds me of cobwebs. This plant grows rapidly. I have since planted it in the ground. It roots easily.
My Aunt Vera always had a mother-in-law’s plant on the porch when I was a child and I think of her when I walk by this one. I bought it from a charming older lady who could talk up a storm! The price was one dollar.
Please visit the others at Outdoor Wednesday for more beautiful outdoor images.
grace surrounds us

ReplyDeleteI always giggle over the name "mother-in-law's tongue". Wonder what poor woman (or man) came up with that!
