Pinks and Purples
My favorite gladiola, Pink Supreme. It's more than just plain pink.
The wisteria has a few second round of flowers. I'll pulling off the pods from earlier in the year, they are toxic to dogs. Since Mickey has gotten older (3 1/2 now) he doesn't grab everything, but it's better safe than sorry. I tried to get rid of the plant altogether, but it came back. It's now advised to plant native wisteria, not this type.
Grandpa Ott morning glory
I love the bright light that seems to come from deep within morning glories. A few years ago I wrote this poem for my other blog in the form mondo. A mondo is a poem with a question and an answer, often written by two poets in collaboration, and a focus on nature. Oh, it is also syllabic.
Trip to Faerie
This light that issues
from the blue morning glory,
where does it originate?
Faerie, I’ve no doubt.
A dreamland for bee visits;
See? Pollen glows on her back.

Oh, that gladiola! So pretty. Your wisteria is so pretty, I didn't realize the pods were toxic to dogs.
