Yesterday, I bought a Galadriel Fuchsia plant for the back yard. With a name like that, how could I not? It's a good thing the nursery didn't carry Lyra Belacqua Peonies or Hermione Anemones.

Beautemous.
ReplyDeleteFuchia blooms have such an amazing fragrance! I hope you have good luck with this plant.
ReplyDeleteWe had peonies when I was a kid...the flowers are beautiful, but they attract ants like banana trees attract gorillas (no offense to Brad).
I do believe I will make good use of my Home Depot gift card this weekend and spend part of the weekend in the garden center...
Beautiful! I love it!
ReplyDeleteGaladriel sounds like he could be the hero of a children's yarn in the struggle against the evil Lyra Belacqua who later turned poor Galadriel into a flower that still weeps even today. And that my little friends is the end of this story...
ReplyDeleteGreetings and salutations!
ReplyDeleteNonny: Gah! You're back, you're back, you're back!
ReplyDeleteYP: It's a sad, sad tale.
Lady K: It seems that the ants just like the nectar. They don't come for anything else, and when the nectar is done (it doesn't hurt the plant), they leave.
Jules and Noodle: I really wish you could see it in person.
That is an irresistable name. I used to have a Galadriel ring. (It was corrupting me, though, so I gave it to a little man who looked pretty honest. I really lost it.).
