I went up to Ridgedale and stole some more of this. It is growing all over around where the Lilac was planted. It is about 5 or 6 inches tall and just grows all over under these bushes. I like things that do not need a lot of care, and this has not had any 'care' in about 10 years and is still going strong, but what is it?
This is the big Lilac bush.
These are white daffodils with yellow centers. I did not have any like this. I had yellow and white but not white with yellow centers. Now I have some if they live. They probably will. They are easy to transplant almost any time of year.
Here is the front bed. The Lilac is on the far end and then that white thing that I think is a bridal wreath then forsythia then I think another Lilac. The little short flowers that I like were under the Lilac in the background, mostly anyway.
This thing was growing corner at the back of the house on the left side of the house (that is the my left as I faced the back of the house). Did you plant this? I know you can't tell much about it from this, but it has little pink pointed buds. There was a bunch of it much shorter than this, like a foot or shorter on the right side of the porch in front and I got several of them. I am thinking maybe they are wild bushes that blew in from the field and I will probably not be able to get rid of them if I get them started, so I better figure out what they are before fall.
I got one small piece of the pink rose bush by the front door. I took a photo of it that I will post later. It was still hard to get any of it because all the shoots were coming off the main stalk and it was really large. I found one piece growing from a shoot about 6 inches out from the main bush and got that. I hope it lives. I got lots of iris and the orange day lilies. I got a few of the little purple grape hyacinths. Then I got several pieces of the other roses growing over to the right of the house. Knowing Patsy, I am thinking they may just be the old wild pink rose and I may not be too proud of them either. There were 4 or 5 tulips, but they were too deep to dig up. I am happy with what I got.
