Chrysanthemums

The eatable Garland Chrysanthemums (Leucanthemum coronarium, Chrysanthemum coronarium) are starting to show there colors out in the front yard...they are spectacular and sooo showy! Did you know that it is popular in Korean traditional soups where they us the greens! Dad aquired it for its eatable nature....and most probably from a Korean acquaintance....He loved that! They are doing fabulous!

This plant's story...

The Snail Vine is going crazy on the back fence with all sorts of new growth and flowers,quite lovely!Another interesting Cactus under the Artemisia...have no idea of it's name or origin...This Rose has a sweet/spicy fragrant and a story....GP, Dad & I took a drive to the coast in Sonoma County 10+ years back and stoped to investigate a very old cemetery...to our delight, we discovered this Rose growing and blooming quite freely without any irrigation or fertilizer... all 3 of us took cuttings and have it growing in each of our yards....later i found out that these Roses were planted on graves of mothers that had passed in the late 1800's and early 1900's.... Women in the early days, when coming out West to settle brought cuttings with them from there favorite plants including this (un-hybridized) Rose...this wonderful Rose is a survivor from this custom by some very amazing and strong women .....
