When I moved, I brought a bunch of my favorite plants with me from the old garden. My Black Columbine (aka Magpie- Aquilegia vulgaris) is growing happily in it’s new flower bed.

Pink Poppy
One of my Oriental Poppies that I planted last year bloomed yesterday, but I wasn’t expecting pink. The label said it was red. That’s okay, I’m not upset. It’s still very pretty 🙂
Haircut Victim Recovering
Over the winter the deer decided they liked my variegated pink and green sedum I had growing in a little clay pot on my front porch. They ate it completely level with the dirt and were rolling it around trying to finish it off.
I stashed it away, between some bigger pots of dormant hostas by my back door to save it.
Well it lived, and thanks to it’s haircut, it’s growing quite vigorously.
