mrdreamjeans | From Weeds to Riches ... Inherited Plants ..

I've never been one to know much about flowers and plants. The only flowers I can readily identify (I'm exaggerating a bit:) are roses, hydrangeas and tulips. For the record, my favorites are white roses, blue hydrangeas and yellow tulips:) Otherwise, I'm at a loss. No Mr Green Jeans, just MrDreamJeans. Hah!

I've inherited a lot of plantings around my bungalow. Thanks to my Lj friends and my sister-in-law who's a horticulturist, I've been able to identify the Mock Orange and Flowering Pomegranate bushes and poison ivy. I've got several plants growing along my driveway and I have no idea what they are. They are open only in the early morning and at dusk and have a variegated coloring ... pinks, yellow and oranges. I've also got Lillies nearby.

In taking a photo of a field of black-eyed susan-looking plants, I captured the most unusual image. The yellow orange flowers were a blur, but a thistle came out in extraordinary detail. It may be one of the top photos I've taken; alas, it was mostly an accident:) Here are the photos. If you know the name of the driveway planting, please let me know.
