September 1997 - Garden Scenes
Broomweed
We have pulled up
broomweed (Sida
acuta) plants found
growing as weeds here and
there in the garden,
but we let the
specimen pictured
at left continue to
grow into a shrub.
It does well where
it is situated on
the north side of
the house and has
survived one winter season. It responds well to pruning and produces an abundance of flowers that open toward the middle of the day and then close later in the afternoon. The close-up photograph of one of the flowers was taken earlier this year. The other photograph was taken this month (September 1997).
