What differentiates a bulb from a perennial plant is that the nourishment for the flower is stored within the bulb itself.…There is something miraculous about the way that a little grenade of dried up tissue can explode into a complete flower.

Deadheading is a neccessary evil. The results are worth the effort.
But the effort is hard to get up especially this summer with all the rain in upstae NY

It seems like it’s hard to make it out there this time of the season. I have been gardening most mornings, but staying inside in the evenings, even though it’s nice out in the evenings.
