One of the best parts of this spring has been watching all of the "mystery" plants in our yard come alive. I'm basically just watching most of them this year to see what they are and then I'll decide what stays and what goes for next year.
We have this corner by our back door that had a leafy plant growing in it...which was fine, but I almost ripped it up to plant "pretty" things instead. In the end I left the main leafy plant and removed the smaller ones in order to plant flowers around it. Several days after I planted the flowers the leafy plant "bloomed!" Seems it's a bleeding heart plant. Who knew?!? Now I'm completely fascinated with it and love it even though it's starting to take over the flowers I just planted. Ah well...
