On a recent power walk on one of our “in city” trails, this daylily caught my attention.

I sometimes talk to house plants because I’ve read that this encourages them to grow and be healthy. Whether I believe that or not is another thing. Considering my dismal track record with house plants, I’ll try anything once or twice.

I certainly do not believe that plants talk to me.

That said, this girl, all dressed up in her finest peach ruffled dress, seemed to be begging to have her photo taken.
