| Many of the plants that grow in my gardens were obtained through Garden Web's secret swaps, round robins and plant exchanges.
Today I noticed that I have a lot of plants that are named after animals: OX-eye Daisy
Thanks to each of you who helped contribute to my menagerie! LOL Are there other animal-named plants that you have? |
