Title: A walk around the yard
Post by: Jeff on June 16, 2005, 02:25:16 PM
I thought I would wander around the yard for a few moments with the camera before the front approaching from the west got here.

Do you know what all of these are? Pretty easy stuff.

Nope.  It is a weigela.  :)

Ernie Sweet Williams is one of 300 different plants from the dianthus family so technically, she is right.  Sorta like calling a green bean a vegetable eh? ;)
