Friday Floral: Mexican Petinias

 

Three years ago a dear friend gave us many Mexican petunias from their garden to plant in front of our house. I planted them and did my best to keep the baby plants alive that year  BUT the weeds in the rest of the garden got ahead of us. Well, me, since I am supposed to be the gardener.

One day I went out to pull weeds.  I worked pretty hard and finally wore down. Just before getting to the tiny newly planted Mexican petunias. My ever kindly Dear One offered to complete the job for me. I accepted his help  and went into the house.  The next day when I went out I discovered an empty spot where the Mexican petunias had been.  I could not be mad since  he had been so kind as to help me when I had nothing left to give  the garden.

So our kind friends entrusted us with more plants to start. Last year they began growing. This made me happy. I handled all the weeding last year. 

This year we have two blossoms! So lovely. With good fortune they will continue to grow and strengthen until we have many blossoms.
