My PLANT
LIST is the index to the various plants I grow. Each
has its on page which contains photographs I have taken and
lots of good reference material about the plant. Just click on any
of the plant names that are underlined for the page dedicated to
that particular plant. A few plant pages are not finished
and ready to see, but will be up soon. I hope you
enjoy them. I am having lots of fun putting these pages together.
And
a new feature...you can click on any of the flowers pictured on
this page to take you to the the page that tells you about
them.
I
have also added "A
Green Thumb Glossary" to my pages. Just click here
to go there.
Oh
yes...if you look closely, you may also find garden faeries hiding on my pages.

Where?
Where
are the fairies?
Where can we find them?
We've
seen the fairy-rings
They leave behind them!
When
they have danced all night,
Where do they go?
Lark, in the sky above,
Say, do you know?
Is
it a secret
No one is telling?
Why, in your garden
Surely they're dwelling!
No
need for journeying,
Seeking afar:
Where there are flowers,
There fairies are!

My Garden Fairies
They
flit through my flowers with hardly a care,
The moon shines on their wings, there's mist in the air.
Do they know I can see them when I sit very still
And gaze into the night from my windowsill?
Sometimes,
the next morning, I see tiny prints,
Of bare little feet... and there's other hints,
That the Fae folk have chosen my yard to abide
They've turned my irises into a fun winter slide.
The stalks sometimes droop, so I start to snoop,
And if the morning sun shines just right,
I can see,
Under my tree,
The Fairy Dust left from last night.
I
won't let them know that I know they're there.
I'll let them flit through my flowers with hardly a
care.
I'd
miss them so much if they went away,
And found another garden in which to play.

My
doves have came back again this year to nest in my bougainvillea
basket. She raised three broods in the spring and one in the fall.
I
took so many dove pictures as they hatched, grew and
left the nest for my garden, that I have given the doves a page of their
own. Just click on the dove picture to move
there.
I have FINALLY
built a page with the plans
for my greenhouse. If you are interested in building one
for yourself, go take a look. They may work for
you. You can go there by clicking on the
underlined words.
