It's Twins!

I am probably the least "green thumb" person I know, so I have to share what is growing my flower pot! It's twins!! Twin gerber daisies!!

Can you see them right in the middle of the pot??

I planted 3 pots of gerber daisies last summer to add to my flower bed at the front of my house. They were so bright and beautiful! But as fall and cooler weather came on, I just left my pots outside and of course my plants died. So this spring as I was going to freshen up the pots and I was pruning my bushes, I noticed that there was something green growing in 2 of my pots. I just let it grow thinking it was probably a weed seed that had landed in my pots over the course of the year. As the leaves got bigger, I realized that it may actually be my daisies coming back. So I watched it a few more weeks, and it started blooming bright orange daisies!!!

And now it's full of blooms! Included my "twin" stem that is growing.

My other pot has several blooms that are just now about to open up. I'll post picture of them when they open, and I can tell what color they are going to be.

I am also nursing an Encore azalea back to health. I nearly killed it last year. I almost dug it up and threw it out, but the very tips of the limbs started growing green leaves. So I'm thinking to myself, "If it's growing green, it's not dead YET, right???!!" So here's a picture of my poor little bush. It is actually starting to put on little, tiny leaves all up and down the branches now. I'll try to keep you posted its progress too.

This poor thing. I should probably just have mercy on it, take it out of its misery!! But I'm not!! I'm determined to bring it back from the dead. I may have to name it Lazarus!
