Merry Christmas to all – God Bless you and yours.
“For He said, “Surely they are my people, children who will not deal falsely.” And He became their Savior.” Isaiah 63:8 ESV
Sharon likes blue, and thankfully we had a good year for plumbago. We haven’t had success in the past. One year they just rotted away. Another year they froze (we actually had several weeks of cold in a row.)
But, this year, this bush looked good with others in the back bed. Success after several tries.
More blessings from God!

Enjoy the Clerodendrum from last Spring. The butterfly is folded up and hard to see, but enjoy that too.
As I understand it, the bush is native to China and India. It does well under the shade of the holly tree in the back yard. It spreads like crazy by sending out runners under ground – and it smells like peanut butter when you break the leaves.
“Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.” Psalms 50:2 ESV
