We are thankful for our yard and gardens.
I choose native species, and am always delighted with what comes up in the spring.

| Wha OH!!!! Poison Ivy |
When a plant shows up that wasn't put in by the gardener, it's called a volunteer.
Sorry, this volunteer cannot stay, even though the berries are terrific for birds in Autumn.
Nope, The Hubby is allergic, and I don't want to find out if I am!

We have some of that viburnum, ans lots of those pretty columbines. Butt thankfully we don't own any poison ivy! (yet)!
ReplyDeleteNo, you do NOT want that poison ivy in the garden, although in Italy there is a soup made from "ortica"....Mama actually ate some and didn't itch inside, haha. But it was NOT her cup of soup....BEAUTIFUL natural garden. Kudos for planting things that go with the turf.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, except for the last one! We do not, as a rule, have poison ivy in Europe, but we do have stinging nettles, and we do have some in our garden. #1 is very careful with them! Once they are cut, horses love eating them!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Tama and Benny
In response to the above comment about ortica, that refers to nettles, not poison ivy!
ReplyDeleteThe plants are all really nice but you are right. That last one has to go, asap!
ReplyDeleteOne of my sons is horrible allergic to the poison ivy too, I also am but my son REALLY suffers.
ReplyDeleteLove your natural garden.
All beautiful, even the poison ivy, but you're right, it's got to go.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
Such pretty plants and flowers...but yes, the poison ivy has to go!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I planted some Jacob's Ladder at the townhouse, but it never took. I should see if I can find some again
ReplyDeleteI didn't that an unwanted herb was called a volunteer. I'm always learning new things when I read other blogs :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of pretty though. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteBe careful removing that. :)
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, our mom's immune to poison ivy!
ReplyDeleteHey, how can a Canada anemone be a native there? Maybe an expatriate?
ReplyDeleteThey are all stunning.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful! Well, except for that poison ivy.
ReplyDeleteI heard a great story today. My brother-in-law and his wife found a volunteer cantaloupe fruiting in their compost pile. Two little girls pilfered and ate the fruit. Caught by my sis-in-law, though I don't know what she said, the pair returned with an apology note and a squash. It heartens me to know these children have been brought up well. Best wishes!
