It grows prolifically, and I've had to separate it a few times, so many other people now have pieces of Grandna's violet too.<br /><br />The dahlia and hibiscus are lovely, and how funny about the corn! My spearmint and lemon thyme are in full bloom too.Kimberley (Cosmos and Cleome)http://cosmosandcleome.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/garden-bloggers-bloom-day-august-2012/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-2864948058980514272012-08-15T21:04:35.575-04:002012-08-15T21:04:35.575-04:00I love plants with stories attached to them.

So many plants in my garden came from someone special, and others remind me of another garden I worked in and gleaned seeds, cuttings, etc. My mom gave me acacia and cherry trees, which will always remind me of her.The Lazy Composterhttp://www.lazycomposter.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-80023172297096198642012-08-15T21:03:58.697-04:002012-08-15T21:03:58.697-04:00Gorgeous!

I have a leopard lily that came from my flatmate. She passed away in her early thirties, and I didn't have a garden at the time, but she gave the lily to a mutual friend, who passed it on to me. Now I have shared it with my brother and another friend, and whenever I see it, in any of our gardens, I think of Jillayne.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414496377660313372noreply@blogger.com
