See you in the funny papers!

Prickly pear! I may have gotten this one from CHantel originally. I have/had two, the other has a red center.

Plant it and they will come.

You're worth it!

Woot-woot!!

@ssgardener - hmmm it looked like a dragonfly but I'm no expert on insects. I have no earthly idea what your pretty pink blooms are though....

“Little girl, why are you doing this? You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...

That's a very pretty shade of yellow, Sally. I need to get myself the thornless variety...

Darn, Chantell, I've lost the tag and was hoping someone would ID this flower for me!

I've got a good one! Can anyone name this plant?

Points for the genus, bonus points for the exact species.

Adorable lil blooms...have no idea what it is though. Is it fragrant?

My pink blooms are Stachys officinalis 'Pink Cotton Candy.' Thank goodness for the Plant List feature on this site or I'd never remember any of my plants!

@Chantell, they aren't fragrant, but here's a clue... they produce edible berries that ripen in late summer and fall.

Here's a picture of the fruit (though it isn't mine, I got it off wikipedia)
