Not a boring geranium in sight...

...in any of my pots.

I've got a brown thumb. I know it's one plant's revenge. The thing didn't grow, was always green and looked healthy, puny, small, in tiny plastic pot, but healthy. Perhaps it wanted to be a bonsai, but at the time I took it as a personal rejection and let the thing die... The relatives of that little ivy are wreaking havoc in my yard now... they know! They are slowly creeping over everything and are getting their revenge.


Despite this history, I went forth this weekend and bought perennials for my pots this year. I had the undivided attention of a very knowledgeable "green thumb" at the nursery and came home with beautiful grasses, a purple bush, a flowering bush with beautiful leaves, and a few annual flowering plants to give it all a bit of colour. Typical, I couldn't tell you the name of the plants, I just care how they look and that they are tough. I think they'll survive my brown thumb curse.
