Volunteers add surprise in the garden
The title of this post is probably going to tantalize Google searchers everywhere. My SiteMeter often registers a spike after I upload a new message, or it identifies specific search words (like party, aluminum cans, etc.) that people are looking for. So I apologize to all of these unrequited searchers, but hope regular Home Stories watchers will enjoy these pictures.
The fern at the top is a volunteer in its part of the garden. It appeared this month on the left side of the back yard, near the daylily colony. All of the other ferns are on the right side of the back yard, along the driveway. How it migrated that far, I have no clue. (Have spores, will travel?) All of these ferns were transplanted from our Ferguson garden, and ultimately from my mother's flower bed in Tulsa. Where she got them, I don't remember.
The two batches of violas are in our front bed, right below where last year's porch boxes held pansies and violas. They must have sprouted from seed that fell into the mulch below. Another front bed has a volunteer pansy, we discovered yesterday. Probably from the same distribution source. That's the fun of gardening. You never know what surprise will greet you when you go outside!
