My Plot of Green
Since we have just now been living on this "plot of green" , to quote Barb, for a year, I am still discovering new plants.
Here is a fern I found. I think it is called Japanese Painted Fern or Pictum, a common wild fern,according to Better Homes and Gardens New Complete Guide to Gardening. But that's not all, The Perennial Plant Association has named Pictum the 2004 Perennial Plant of the Year, saying that this perennial low-maintenance Japanese painted fern is one of the showiest ferns for shade gardens. Did you know that such an award existed? I also like the moss covered rock next to it .



And this little wild flower is near our backdoor. At first I was wondering if it was Poison Ivy. I am still trying to find out it's name.

I hope to post a garden update this weekend. Things are really growing well with all the rainy cool weather. How are things in your yard?
