I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

It is a beauty--even with a humble word like "groundcover" in the name.
Beautiful flower and when many of them bloom together, the ground must be looking carpeted.
Hello! A very pretty rose!
