I have such a sentimental attachment to them. They always remind me of an elderly neighbor who shared so many of her plants with me. I grew up gardening with my parents, helping tend our huge veggie garden. But it was my old neighbor's inspiration that helped get my ornamental gardening juices flowing!garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749996258947137504.post-81990925783829075652013-08-15T06:16:37.552-05:002013-08-15T06:16:37.552-05:00I love the vibrant colour of the Phlox.

Deer don't bother it, either. I like your Lantana, that's my favorite color combination of it.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.com
