Columbine Flower

An old Farmer once told me that you know when the garden is happy, it will send gifts. He said that suddenly a flower will appear that was never there before. And that if you take care of the gift by tending it, dividing it and caring for its soil, more gifts will come.



We have the gift of a purple Columbine Flower this year. Amidst the Iris and spreading Ivy, this lovely and delicate flower has appeared. We are wonderously excited and grateful. Our next step is to show our gratitude by removing the naughty speading Ivy and give this new plant a bit of growing room and weedless soil for its feet. If tended to properly, this plant will divide into two within a few sort years. How beautiful it iwll be to see several in a mass of bloom.

Regards,
Betty
