Ollie and the Skyflower


Ollie and the Skyflower
Originally uploaded by Uncle Mikey.
My wife snapped a piece of a flowering plant off outside of the southernmost Threadgill's in Austin and stuck it in the ground in our back yard a couple of years ago. Now it's five feet tall, four feet across, and covered with sprays of small, sweetly fragrant white flowers. They're purple at Threadgill's, but the soil here is more limestoney so we get white ones. It's called a Skyflower and we love it.
