  2. Do you know what plant the second from the bottom is? I sure do like it. Enjoyed seeing all of these. It is getting to be the time of year I look forward to seeing spring come.

    In a post of mine the other day, you wondered how Waveland got it's name...I have no idea. It is such a small place....about 500 people live there. It being so small and having that mural is what amazed me.

  4. These are nice. I'm currently enrolled in a gardening class, and working on my winter garden. My instructor says we should try for something blooming at all times of the year to keep up the population of beneficial insects. It's a fun project. I'd like to visit a garden like this.
