Another garden blog to point you to…blog pointing not being my ordinary endeavor, but I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em. Mr. Brown Thumb is a tremendous photographer, on par with the mystically talented Blue Ridge Blogger, of outhouse-lovin’ fame. That’s Mr. Brown’s ladybug at stage right…the only photograph to date to grace Gardenmob that wasn’t taken by the author. If you go to Mr. Brown Thumb’s site, check out his photograph and comments on rose Nearly Wild…comments I cannot take any issue with. A write-up from Gardenmob on Nearly Wild is provided here (with a photograph of Nearly Wild from about ten years ago…highly deficient when compared to Mr. Brown’s efforts with this rose). By the way, Nearly Wild could be considered an alternative to Knockout roses and their cousins the Pink Knockout roses. If one scrolls to May 25, 2007 (or just click the forthcoming link at the end of this sentence) of Mr. Brown Thumb, there is a photograph of an iris that looks like a big beetle about to attack. That Iris is a lovely scary beast, sort of like my Triumph motorcycle.
