Back in the fall, we fully dug up what was at the mailbox bed to plant
a new 8' x 8' bed and included dwarf crepe myrtle, creeping juniper,
autumn joy sedum, purple coneflower, and daffodil bulbs.
So, imagine my surprise when I saw this gladiolus above.
Then I remember that the previous homeowner had some
in this bed. The soil was fully tilled and replanted
and yet, it somehow managed to survive.
It looks quite odd there now amongst the daffodil greens, but
I admire it's resilience, and so just smile as I gaze upon it.

Dear Jayne,
As Mary said, "Beautiful".
Sherry
beautiful, sometimes we can flower against the odds...
Wonderful surprise to have these come up!~ Yeah
Boy that's a nice one!-I have a favorite rose bush that has been mowed over and moved 3 times-yet it keeps coming back.
That is gorgeous.
What a beautiful shade of pink! That's a nice surprise.
Hi, Jayne - I've tagged you for a meme, because I thought you would have a thoughtful and interesting contribution. My post is at http://www.wrenaissance.com/blog/2007/07/vibes.html
and it explains the meme and gives a link back to the originator. I hope you'll play!
