WHAT’S IN A NAME

Mondo

There are so many lovely plants available this year at all the local stores and nurseries, I can’t stand it! I miss my garden of many years ago. I. Want. To. PLANT! I miss befriending beetles and earthworms and knowing the ground and what lies beneath. Starting out timid and fearful of all the creepy crawlies about only to work tilling the earth, distributing plants and seeds here and there, to all at once look up and find all reservation having dissipated. A oneness and commonality having settled in when I wasn’t looking. I’m a big fan of grasses in years past, due likely to their Muppety likeness. These black bladed plants in particular pair nicely with brightly colored florals. Wouldn’t have guessed their name, Mondo Grass.
