Hydrangea I rooted. Brought the cutting from GA |
|
This rose bush was rooted from one in Albany, Ga that my 80 year old friend could document back to her great grandmother's home in Savannah. I figured it is about 200 years old. The pale pink roses are so fragrant, but the bush is covered with so many torns we try not to get too close. I rooted some and have them growing on our fence in the back yard in Elba.
My favorite accomplishment was establishing a water garden in the spring area. We got so excited when we had our first water lily bloom. The cold winter killed it and I never got another one.
Daffodils were planted everywhere and the woods were alive in spring. The purple wild violets were growing in this marshy area when I was growing up. I was so happy to discover them again.
Elephant ears loved the bog area near the spring. The last photo is a view from our bedroom window looking east. This was a tangled mass of vines and trees when we moved to the farm.
