All those lovely mounds of ice plant
started from one serendipitous little seed
which found its way into my yard.
I found the one little seedling in this bed,
wasn't sure what it was,
but knew it was something.
I let it grow and was rewarded by this beautiful plant.
They are easily propagated.
Just cut off a piece and stick it anywhere.
It'll grow.
Ice plant, or delosperma,
is a succulent indigenous to South Africa
and I'm so happy it found its way to my garden.
This little beauty is coreopsis -
from that box of seeds I planted last spring.
I got the box from Ace Hardware
with a full rebate on it.
I mulched the left side of the garden,
but didn't get a chance to mulch here on the right.
The recycling center ran out of mulch and
I won't be able to get more until June.
I love it here under the willows next to the water.
I threw out some wildflower mix last spring
and now I have all this.
Mr. Hawthorne was out on the deck
and gave me a headsup for this low-flying plane.
He doesn't know what type plane this is
so we'd love it if someone could identify it.

Lovely garden. Wish I was there.
Me too, Mar. Me too.
Rosie, I think the plane looked a little like a B-52 bomber. It is not a B-1 Bomber, the B-1 is sleeker than the one in the pictures. Was there an air show of some sort nearby that weekend?
