Petunias

I’m a big fan of perennials.   They make gardening a lot easier.  I’m sometimes surprised at what comes back every year.  This petunia is 3 years old.   It sits outside every winter and dies back to nothing but dirt in the basket.   This last winter was particularly cold.  I didn’t think it had survived.  Yet, every spring I’m pleased to see it pop back to life with one little green leaf.  It doesn’t take long for it to fill up the basket once again.

I think I’ll get a bunch more of these in lots of different colors — since I am apparently unable to kill them.
