Unusual, Different

Sometimes I find some oddities in the garden when I'm poking about.
Last March I found this nasturtium doing its very best to survive. I have N. Alaska growing nearby so I assume it originated from their seed. The poor thing only lived for about a week after I captured the pic.



And speaking of N.Alaska, I moved one to a new position only to discover as it grew that it must have been crossed with the trailing Nasturiums I also grow. So now I have a variegated trailing plant. I'm trying to root a piece in water so I can keep it going. Although this is a new plant for me, I see there are seeds available.



Just this week I found something similar happening in the Disporum clump with some stems having all white leaves



And then there's the extra bud shooting from the centre of my Tour de Malakoff rose


But back to the changes that happen when the warmer weather arrives, I always forget how much growth occurs in just a few short weeks so before and after shots are always a good record..
