Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized.~Allan Armitage.
Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.~Unknown
In mid July I asked for help to recognize the name of a perennial plant as I lost the name card. Recently many buds have started to open and a few dark pink flowers are blooming on it. Apparently it’s a variety of late blooming aster, may be its Marie dark pink aster.
I donot remember why I chose the specific plants for my garden. I knew nothing then but was quite eager to try something new. In last couple of months I learned many interesting things about gardening and I am so happy.
There are no gardening mistakes, only experiments.~ Janet Kilburn Phillips

Thanks Kate.
It’s same with our every action, it can be realxing or taxing. If we learn to enjoy the moment instead of imposing unnecessary goals we are happy.
Hope you have a fun filled weekend dear Kate.

Pretty! I have something similar in my garden however it blooms early … that’s when the ground squirrels don’t eat every leaf and bud like this year! I have a have-a-hart trap and have relocated 17 of those little buggers so far this year but too late for the flowers.
