Some of the plants I grow are purely for my six-year-old's enjoyment. I
let her look through a catalog every year and pick one or two plants out.
That plant goes to a corner of the yard known as "Kara's Korner". It's
quite a fun, jumbly sort of thing. Everything is bright and colorful. She
loves foxgloves, roses, johnny-jump-ups, shasta daisies, hollyhocks, and
oriental lilies. This year we added tall blue bellflowers and some asiatic
lilies. They all seem to work out quite well.
I let her pick her flowers anytime she wants for a constant bouquet on her
night table. She also shows her friends HER flowers. I figure I could
start a tradition with her. We've already pressed some flowers for her to
make into bookmarks.
Anyone know of any plants with "Kara" in the name? I can't find a blasted
one!! I grow Valerian for my name and the johnny-jump-ups are for her
father, Johnny. I figure it would be neat to have one for her.
