I wasn't feeling the best, and it was so windy, I didn't have the energy to battle it.<br /><br />Today, it was nicer out, though still pretty windy. I got a few buckets of compost dug and spread around, then notice our next door neighbor's yard guy spraying her nut grass. Anyway, as I was out working, I got to thinking about Wildflower Wednesday, and how I think I missed it again.<br /><br />When I took a break, I looked to see if I was right. I loved your post! I took some photos so I could join you, even though I am quite late. I had to let others know to come see your post. Thanks for that, Gail!Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-26014965708648424392010-10-29T17:54:45.067-05:002010-10-29T17:54:45.067-05:00Amazing pics... love the elm.Amazing pics... love the elm.Dirty Girl Gardeninghttp://www.dirtygirlgarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-50877125906356945422010-10-29T10:39:09.489-05:002010-10-29T10:39:09.489-05:00What a great post, Gail!

I find my evolution has been from evergreen shrubs and pastel flowers to natives as the years (we won't say how many) progress. I was smitten by Hearts-A-Bustin/Euonymus americanus. Who could resist a plant with the name Hearts-a-Bustin? I was more familiar with Euonymus Japonicus, and went on a little research journey--what fun!Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-51884071254705937642010-10-28T17:02:22.719-05:002010-10-28T17:02:22.719-05:00You have lots of fall color.
