Peggy C's photos with the keyword: stems have prickly things

St. Patrick's Day -- March 17, 2014 Spring -- March 20, 2014 Vernal Equinox -- March 20, 2014 Winter ? Doesn't care to leave, yet ... On the left is ice ----- maybe a few snowflakes buried in there .. But, it is ice .. Now melted .. But, no sunshine .. Or blue sky .. Or warm temp !! Although NOAA says the temp. should go to 50 deg. today .. Got my doubts about that .. Thursday - freezing rain ? Whether the weather will find Spring .. We shall see .. Photo on right side --- don't know the flower -- ID below, [ thanks Pam J for ID of Creeping Phlox ] but in trimming these back off the sidewalk .. Learned very quickly that there were very tiny thorns/prickly things on the stems ! plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/all/phlox-subulata (c) All Rights Reserved
