Murphy's Law? (Chitweed)
Know how they say "The best laid plans can go awry"? Or Murphy's Law about "Anything that can go wrong will"? My garden is the picture in the dictionary that demonstrates both of these. It's not always a bad thing... This is a zinnia that reseeded from last year. Last years were a reseed from the year before. The year befores zinnias were Profusion Apricot. This is not Profusion Apricot.This is not what I expected. Still, I like it. Maybe the Profusion Apricot is an offspring of Profusion Cherry, as I think that is what this flower color looks like. Don't count your zinnias before they hatch...um...bloom. This beautiful snap dragon is white. Right? Wait...you see a bright salmon flower, too? Whew, I thought maybe it was just the sunstroke I might be suffering from in the 90F temps we had today. I planted white, which 11 of the plants are (part of the all white plantings this year), the 12th has managed to not be white. 'Tis OK, I like it. ![]() This is a very tender annual, coleus. It hates the cold. Its the first to take a dive in the fall with a light frost. It is a reseed from last year, but who am I to tell it that it shouldn't have come back? I like it. I just wish I remembered what the name of it is? I can't at all remember the name at the moment...Florida SunSpot...maybe? So... It's 'Chitweeds Law' in my garden instead... "What can go wrong will, the best laid plans will certainly go awry, but dude... it's all good". More... |
