There are LOTS of things in this world we presume are commonplace which really aren't to others. That's why it's so fun to share. Ya never know what you consider to be common will be someone else's golden child.
Which reminds me Dolly... gotta go get some pictures of my ferns! :biggrin:

Who likes cleome? A poor picture, due to wind, but you get the drift...

And I pulled the wrong lotus from the pond this spring to put into my 100 gallon barrel in the flower bed. It was SUPPOSED to be one of the miniatures. Instead it's Lavendar Lady. First shot, me standing next to it attempting a picture... it's about 7' tall.

Here it is with me bending it over almost in half to get a top view...

And these are some water lilies called Colorado, which are waaaaay down there at the surface of the barrel...

Not one of my favorites, but it's one of the favorites of most folks around here, as it's a very easy and prolific bloomer.

PS And yes, Dolly, that lotus... this is one of those times I should have looked at the label before moving. Hard to tell what it is when you're looking at dry stems and mud in the spring. :biggrin:
