Garden-y Things

And I was impressed with one bloom!




One day last year, our neighbor was out working in his garden and pulled up a spindly piece of ornamental ginger. He tossed it out to the side and Caleb picked it up. He told Caleb he could have it, so we planted it and it took off. Our plant bloomed this week:

It's a very fragrant bloom, but it wilted quickly. Although this is not the kind of ginger you can eat, it's roots look all knotty like that kind.

And we just had a big batch of queen caterpillars in the front garden. I sent 3 to school with my neighbor's little girl and one picked the pentas to "J" in, so we have a wild chrysalis to watch.
