Circle Flower
Lysimachia punctata
'Alexander'
(ly-si-MAK-ee-uh)
(punk-TAH-tah)
Synonyms: Variegated Yellow
Loosestrife
This is a fun and colorful
plant to have in the garden. It does have to be planted with care because like
most Lysimachias it is an aggressive and invasive plant. I would only recommend
it to intermediate to advanced gardeners. With that said this flower forms a
virtual color of carpet from the pinkish new shoots to the variegated foliage
and yellow flowers. It is best used where it can form a big colony and not
invade other plants. It grows in a multitude of conditions and can sometimes
fill in over harsh areas of the garden.
I am happy to report a few
signs of life out in the garden. This winter has seemed to me to be like a time
warp. Some daffodils were just starting to come out of the ground and new
shoots were coming out of the Daylilies. The tree buds are also starting to get
a little color and a little swelling. Its not surprising as the calendar is
going to flip to March this week. Bye, Bye February, thanks for stopping by.
"The February sunshine steeps
your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within."
William C. Bryant, American,
(1794-1878)
