I'm down for the count... at the mercy of a hellacious case of the flu. Part avian flu, part swine flu, with a little bit of black plague thrown in for good measure.
Well-deserved, I suppose, given my catty behavior with Wednesday's blog post.
Apparently, no bad deed goes unpunished.
In spite of the repercussions, 'twas an awfully fun week of blog commenting to and fro. And, as a simple thank you for joining in on the fun, I'd like to give you something!
Pictured here are 5 fabulous perennials who simply adore heat, drought, long winters and criminal neglect. Not to mention low nutrient alkaline clay soil... (Though I imagine they'd grow most anywhere, given half a chance.)
They are not huge mysteries, by any means...
However! If you can identify all 5 of these purple posies, I'd love to send you
free seeds so you can grow these bright beauties in your own garden. (The Swallowtail Butterflies are happy hangers on. They'll surely show up as soon as they spot the blossoms.)
This is simply a thank you for a super fun week of blog comments, back and forth.
And, the beginning of something I'd dearly love to do all year long. Let's call it Friday's Freebee.
So, have at it! Please leave me a comment, identify these flowers and I'll ship a packet of goodies to you in plenty of time for planting.
