Yes. Those are the same weeds/flowers that are in the ditches up at my parents' place. I remember seeing them by the side of the creek growing up. I always assumed they were wildflowers and thought they were lovely. <br />I noticed my neighbor up the street has them growing haphazardly is her garden! I guess growing them myself is out of the question now. <br />Like Lily of the Valley. I think they're lovely, but I'd rather they were in someone else's garden! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989341971702269083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-1653463229191659262012-06-10T18:59:19.940-04:002012-06-10T18:59:19.940-04:00I do know about the garden gift that just keeps on...I do know about the garden gift that just keeps on gifting...<br />I have Bishops Weed.

I've made lots of progress this week taming the jungle. Still have more to do. I hope people aren't getting bored seeing photos of my garden as that just happens to be where I'm spending most of my time right now. :)Kathleen Maunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827170549189936589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-44531664416095657642012-06-07T22:00:19.592-04:002012-06-07T22:00:19.592-04:00I know the type, take their fair share of water, s...I know the type, take their fair share of water, sunshine & love but still wants more. Smothering their companions is their way of showing who's boss. Plumbago. It is nightmarish. Spread under and through a steel fence and thick paving from the neighbours property. Thrives on herbicides. It is my nemesis.<br /><br />But your garden looks so lovely, even for the obnoxious visitor!Cindy Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423706050014070124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-13933736914177335192012-06-07T19:03:07.741-04:002012-06-07T19:03:07.741-04:00Maybe one gardener's joy is another gardener&#...Maybe one gardener's joy is another gardener's curse?
