A few days ago, I
posted pictures of flowers currently in bloom in our yard, but there were a few whose names I couldn't remember.
My neighbor Rob knows the names of most plants around. Whenever I want to know what a plant is called, I ask him. So I was glad to see him walking his dog past our house recently.
Those are called forget-me-nots, he told me, adding:
So you won't forget them!
And this pretty ground cover with white flowers is called Sweet Woodruff. It apparently does well when planted under trees.
I'm glad I didn't totally eliminate it when I tried - a few summers ago - to get rid of gout weed that is threatening to take over my flower beds.
(And the gout is coming back too, unfortunately!)
