Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Somewhere around twenty years ago, I dug up these oxalis (clover) from the yard of a house I rented in Dallas. Everywhere I've lived since then, I plant a piece in the yard. This original pot of clover is still going strong. It dies back from the heat every summer, and returns again in cool weather. This time of year it is full of beautiful little purple flowers. These are at the top of my list of favorite plants.

  3. Hey Susan!

    What a great idea. I wish I would’ve done that with my Grandmothers lilac bush.

    Anyway, to answer your question (from flickr) about what is Pixo? Check out his blog. He is, in my mind, a creative genius!
