This little beauty turns 21 years old today. We celebrated Zoe’s birthday last night, with more hoopla planned for today. Friends gathered for cake and well wishes. Lots of smiles and hugs. People came who have known Zoe her whole life, and others who have been witness to her more recent years of young adulthood. It was great and I cried. Twenty one, whew! Happy, Happy, Birthday, Zoe!
Early this morning, we wandered around the nursery, checking out some other beauties that are also bringing joy to our days.

Alchemilla mollis, Primula kisoana, and Mertensia virginica

Phlox divaricata

Phlox stolonifera ‘Home Fires’
