Surprise Saturday visitor in the garden

Yesterday I was singing along with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros quietly to myself in the back, potting up some seedlings when I felt a presence.  Thinking I had the whole world to myself, Denise from A Growing Obsession was standing right next to me!  What a nice and unexpected visit.  If only Denise was a neighbor on my block, just think of all the cups of sugar we could borrow.

I had been meaning to arrange another visit to her place and of course to pillage the garden for cuttings.  Well, Denise brought them to me.  A fist full of golden bay cuttings were thrust in my general direction.  What a friend.

Then I was escorted through my own garden to the front to see something else she'd brought me.  Now this would melt any gardener's heart. I had also mentioned I wanted a cutting of the Santolina 'Lemon Fizz',  but instead of cuttings she brought a whole plant potted in one of my favorite lines (Sedona) of ceramic pots!

I think it looks great.

Thanks Denise.  Drop by anytime.  :-)
