Horsemint came to mind as I read -glad Cindy & Rock Rose gave you the answer. <br /><br />The cursive <i>looks</i> pretty, but I've spent too many weeks peering at the handwriting on old census pages, marriage & death certificates to appreciate it right now...old eyes crave plain print, LOL <br /><br />Your Memorial Day sounds as if it was very special and congrats on the expected autumn addition to the family.<br /><br />Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-61150701779328127252010-06-10T11:45:05.837-07:002010-06-10T11:45:05.837-07:00That IS an odd looking flower!

For 3 years in a row they have taken the cardinal nestlings from the nest. One year it was the mourning doves. You can see why we don't like them. The flower is horsemint- This year was an incredibly profuse flowering. We have never seen them in our garden before but had a filed of them in one spot. The purple ones are really attractive enough to grow in the garden. I have tried to grow bee balm- which is related but only one year out of 8 did they bloom. Rather like the horsemint. Your lily is beautiful. Such perfection.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-57683824802366189902010-06-04T12:00:16.797-07:002010-06-04T12:00:16.797-07:00Dear Shy Songbird,

This world can indeed be a very harsh place. I sometimes have trouble looking at the good, and not letting the negative overwhelm me.<br /><br />Our Memorial Day was very nice. The cake was a success--there was none left (thankfully, no leftovers to eat).<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words for my photos. I was proud of the close up of the lily. With my little camera, I have problems taking macro shots. <br /><br />We are all looking forward to this new little addition to our family. One more stocking to hang for Santa this Christmas! ;-)Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-3952334662878800272010-06-04T05:34:40.771-07:002010-06-04T05:34:40.771-07:00Dear Jenny, how sad to hear of the little fledgeli...Dear Jenny, how sad to hear of the little fledgeling but you did your very best. I am always struck, in those circumstances, by the effort put in by the parents and indeed the little one itself to even get to the fledged stage, it seems such a shame when its little life then ends before it has really started...Nature though full of beauty can also be very harsh...<br /><br />On a much happier note, how lovely to hear the news of the expected new baby, many congratulations to you all. I'm sure Loudon will be a very protective big brother...when he gets used to the idea!! :)<br /><br />I do hope the Memorial Day meal went well and Hubby's birthday cake sounds delicious.<br /><br />Lovely photos too, especially the lilies.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-6956817147770324002010-06-01T18:34:06.588-07:002010-06-01T18:34:06.588-07:00Cindy,

The butterflies and hummers are loving it, and it is popping up in all the beds I had planted with seeds from the Wildseed Farm last Fall. It is listed as Lemon Mint. <br /><br />Thanks, we are excited. The girl's are excited to have a new cousin, but Loudon is just too young to really understand. I hope he will take on his role of big brother easily.Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-18917588770204753642010-06-01T18:23:37.201-07:002010-06-01T18:23:37.201-07:00Dear Rose,

June is a busy month for us with birthdays and anniversaries galore. <br /><br />Cindy from MCOK has identified the mystery plant as Horse Mint.

Sometimes it is hard to know what to do, or even if you should. I certainly didn't want to do more harm to him, but I couldn't just leave him to the elements. <br /><br />Cindy from My Corner of Katy has correctly identified my mystery flower as Horse Mint. I have more popping up daily and the butterflies and hummers just love it. <br /><br />It's really not hard to cater to vegetarians. I certainly can't let anyone go hungry! That is against the "Mom Rules". ;-)Morning Glories in Round Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988634441429032483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475421075331245419.post-13019432357801606582010-06-01T11:54:40.801-07:002010-06-01T11:54:40.801-07:00I'm really sorry the little blue jay didn'...I'm really sorry the little blue jay didn't survive.

We have something in common--he picked a very good day to have a birthday:) And congratulations on your grandchild-to-be; such exciting news!<br /><br />The flower looks very familiar, not one I've grown, but I've seen it somewhere before.

It almost reminds me of an agastache of some kind. I hope someone knows what it is. <br /><br />Thanks for your nice comment about Heidi. Everything is her business, and she probably does feel she needs to keep us and her property safe from all critters and people. She can sense when people are OK, and will get as much attention from them as possible.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.com
