WHERE IN THE WORLD IS BILBO--TALLAHASSEE

Anyone have a clue what this is? I picked up a small piece of this at the local nursery off of the floor and brought it home stuck (placed) it in some soil...it was around the Sedums..it's growing.. I took this photo of the back of my Full Sun Garden from the side porch.

Blue Daze (photo does not do it justice)

The girls call this the Island Bed..this is what our neighbors see when they drive by. There are two Blueberry Bushes at either end between this bed and the Full Sun Garden..thinking about removing the strip of grass and connect the two.......oh, I don't know...

Ragin Cajun Ruellia....still going strong.

A random shot of the Full Sun Garden.

Run on over to http://tootsietime.blogspot.com and flaunt those flowers!

Ms. Doris, look at the Angel Wing Begonia you rooted for me..

Now let the fun begin!!!

Bilbo arrived yesterday afternoon from England at http://nipitinthebud.wordpress.com This is what was written on the side of the box.

I could hear his muffled cries from inside the very hot package.

Always smiling, Bilbo took a deep breath and enjoyed the coolness of the air conditioning.

He did put up a fuss about me wanting to take more photos of him last night. So we agreed to let him relax and start the real fun today.

In the package were some neat brochures about things in England, a Buckingham Palace bookmark, and some Hedgerow Jelly. Thanks for the gifts!

I will be posting about Bilbo today thru Sunday. If you would like a chance to have Bilbo visit your gardens please leave a comment on any post today until Sunday. I will combine all comments and draw a name on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully I will be able to have mailing info exchanged and have Bilbo on his way Monday morning! GOOD LUCK!
