I had an idea for a fun game that not only allows us to showcase something from our gardens, but increases plant knowledge too!
So...here's the rules:
1) Someone (I'll start) posts a picture of a plant from their own yard
2) It should be taken from an interesting angle, so you cannot just see the whole plant and identify it...so maybe part of the flower head, etc...but you have to include at least one of the following, either a petal, a leaf, a fruit, or the stem with your shot.
3) When someone guesses the correct name of the plant, it is their turn to post the next photo.
4) Be sure you can identify your own plant! (I think common or latin names are ok)
Sound fun? Let's play!
Here's the first photo.....

Marie, you put your pic up whenever you're ready and I'll let everyone know what this is. I've posted pics of it and a couple of us have it but not a lot may have seen it.
I think I got one of those from the swap and it's got a bloom stalk on it now. I can't remember the name of it though. Then again, maybe I dont't have what you have. lol It's rough textured.
Smooth textured, rough edges, I don't think anyone has brought any to the swap though.
