Mischief, of course!

Despite last year's freeze here in Florida, we managed to rescue some of our Hibiscus crosses. These crosses were made in Spring 2008, and the seed was harvested in the Summer of 2009. The outcomes were very interesting indeed!

The Little Garden That Could...

It is said that a garden, like a mirror, reflects more than it's owner's face. The experienced viewer sees more than a mere landscape thriving in dappled sunlight or tolerating a pounding rain. Among the living colors, winding tendrils and the fleshy, new growth coming from bulbs and tubers, there are dead things too. Those dead things are relics of unchangeable misfortune, miscalculation or simply a natural end of life. A good garden keeps what is dead and invites it's newer members to use those deaths in marvelous and creative new ways.

Misfortune forms a garden's mystical archeology and defines it's bones.
