I know I already posted this--but here it is right in front of the BIG Hibiscus.

I figured that a wholw seed pod must have fallen down and I never founfd it--or maybe a bunch of seeds as I was picking off the pods (zillions of them!) . I still had an old clump of Candytuft right where this thing sprouted.
Well--the Candytuft kind of died last year--so I cut it way back in the Spring--hoping it might rejuvenate--but NO!
SO! Now it is GONE! Need to start new ones from seedlings in a MP--I KNOW I can get those at Edgertons!

What I will do is move one of my bigger Mums to this spot.

Three of my 5 Mums I bought last fall survived and I planted them in that small, circular bed on my front lawn that I moved my KK Hibiscus to. The yellow one is now in FULL bloom! And BIG! The other two--are still in tight bud. One is maroon--the other one is that fall-orange.
I will dig up the big, yellow one as I want all 3 of the Mums in this bed to, kind of, bloom at the same time.
Am also thinking of buying some of those fall Asters and planting them there in-between the Mums.....

Again--my mind went in a different tangent!!! AAAGGGHHHHH!

Here is that blooming, seedling Hibiscus in front of my old, red one--just behind it. GONE! As of today!
