Plant Geography



This is an exciting time of the
year in the Northeast.

With January gone and Groundhog
Day just around the corner,
we are smelling Spring.

While the long days of winter
may continue to be a reality,
the hope in our hearts begins
to grow. Everywhere I go, friends
are discussing garden plans and
some are even actively working
toward this by clearing land.

One of the ways we can make the
most of our gardens with no money
out of pocket is to evaluate the
placement of our existing plants.

When Georgia moved in next door this
clematis was a sad little thing placed
at the top of a garden under a canopy
of trees. It put out a couple of tiny
flowers each year. Georgia moved it
to a sunny spot at the side of her shed
and look what it did last year.



So big.
So happy.

A happy Clematis.
Who knew?

No cost!
Big results!

So, once again, I have been thinking
about the placement
of some of the perennials
in my front flower beds.
I have some rearranging to do.

What about you?

I am linking up with Mary at
Mosaic Monday.
Hope you'll stop by to see
the other mosaics.

Georgia's White Clematis

When Warren's Mom, Georgia, bought
the house next door from my good
friend, Beverly, she moved a clematis
that was well established in the middle
of the yard. The move
was necessary since there were about
ten trees being cut down. This vine
would have been in the way.

I figured there was a decent chance
this flower would not survive the
move.

I was so wrong!

Yesterday something caught my eye
from the far side of Georgia's yard.

It was this.


This is wonderful because before
Gene passed away and Georgia sold
their home an hour away from here
she had the most beautiful purple
clematis on her lamp post. I know
she misses so many things from that
yard. How sweet that this flower
should be doing so well!













God knows us so well and shows
His love in very tangible ways.

To Georgia...it is through an
intricate flower.

Has He showed His love to You lately?
