Marcia Finds a “Who House!”
unwind July 22nd, 2009
Okay…I’m sure all you green-thumbers out there know exactly what these flowers are (do tell!)…though I do not! I will tell you that…when we moved back to New Mexico in January…the leaves of this lovely plant looked exactly like a weed! Thus, Kevin pulled it nearly out of the ground! Since then, it has flourish and bloomed and is gorgeous!
However, my favoritest thing about it is happening right now! When the leaves of the flowers wither and fall…what’s left is the perfect, perfect, perfectest “Who” thingy! You know…in the book Horton Hears a Who…when he puts the dust speck on the clover thingy? Doesn’t this sooooooooooo look like the clover thingy…sort of? Trent and I just got a kick out of these photos for that reason!
Which reminds me…I’ve almost got The Lady of Shalott memorized! I just have trouble on the transition the third to last stanza…but a couple of more days should do it! Therefore, I’m on to my next memorization project…How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Who’s with me? Get it? The Grinch? “Who’s” with me? “Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot…”
Meanwhile…Can’t you just hear those little Whos calling to us from these flower heads?

I know what kind of flower they are!! That is called a goblin blanket flower. I have them in my flower garden and they are one of my favorite flowers! And I believe these are the flower that are on the cover of your book ‘The touch of sage’. Do I get bonus points for that??? lol
