As a child, I remember lurking around the plumbago trying to capture one of the elusive hummingbirds who frequently visit.
What began as part of genealogical research has become an appreciation
for the art that is an aged tombstone and the quiet beauty of a cemetery.

No Tombstone or Travels - Just Backyard Blooms
No tombstones and no travels today. But on a trip to the backyard with Daisy & Disco, I noticed the wonderful, reliable plumbago with its periwinkle blue blooms and decided it deserved a post. Plumbago is one of those rare flowering shrubs that can survive the heat, drought and other extreme weather of a south Texas summer and continue to look lovely. So in honor of this hardy little bloomer, here are a few photos.
