One of my favorite plants . . .
. . . is an ornamental oregano called "Kent's Beauty."
I usually don't bother planting annuals that won't survive the winter,
but I'm a sucker for this one because its blooms are so unique.
I've also decided to liven up our mailbox area
with some hardy perennials like coral bells . . .
. . . a few interesting sedums (like this "Lime Zinger") . . .
. . . and a mallow plant.
In the past, I figured that at least the flowerbeds out by the road
might be safe from adorable, landscape-devouring woodland creatures.
'Cuz the cars and dog walkers would scare them away, right?
Then I saw this guy hop out of my neighbor's bushes next to Rosie
(who is blooming like crazy--yay!).
I guess I should just assume if I plant anything that rabbits find tasty,
it's going to get chomped no matter where it is in our yard.
Hopefully this one isn't hungry for a rose bush salad.
