One of the biggest changes with our move to an environment of greater plant diversity is that I cannot keep up with identifying them all.

This bloom is from a specimen in our yard that grows with great ease. It seems rather invasive as I can see evidence of other owners attempts to take them out.

It is shrub like in nature, but I feel if left alone it would grow to tree size.

And don’t get me started on bamboo. Somebody thought Grayson County needed bamboo. And so we have bamboo. We spent a good portion of yesterday trimming a garden of it that would totally consume the concrete driveway if left to it’s own will.

Things just grow in this wet red dirt area.
