mmegaeraIt's a disease, I swear.
Despite knowing that after five years in this tiny garden, I have no room for any more perennials, period, this jumped into my cart at Fred Meyer (a local equivalent to about ten steps up from a Walmart superstore -- Fred's has a terrific nursery for a chain store) this morning. "I'm only $2.95," it whispered. "I'll be so beautiful next year." Ptui. I only went in the store to pick up a new pair of sneakers in the first place.
It's an echinacea. I've always admired echinaceas. And it was dirt cheap for a perennial of this size. But drat it, I don't have room.
Will someone please save me from myself?
Plants are one of my three categories of things (the other two are books and quilt fabric) that aren't clutter by definition no matter the quantity, but this is ridiculous.
Again, I say ptui. But it's so pretty...
