Snow on the Prairie



August, Delicate Sweet Annie Leaves









The smaller plant in the foreground is one of my  favorite aromatic herbs, Sweet Annie.  Doesn't its shape resemble one of the evergreens?  Some say this herb is  horribly invasive but that hasn't been the case here.  This particular plant is a volunteer having sprouted from one tiny seed that somehow germinated in the pumpkin patch. Some harvest Sweet Annie for wreath-making, and it's a nice green filler for bouquets. For me, though, I like it because of its aroma, a scent I look forward to each growing season.
