Desert Lilies
Come, my beloved,
consider the lilies.
We are of little faith.
We talk too much.
Put your mouthful of words away
and come with me to watch
the lilies open ...
--Anne Sexton, "From the Garden"
But these are from stolen seeds, growing in my front yard. They mean business, but they will never tell where they came from, and they will never go back.

Tammy, I think they are here to stay! (God willing and the sky don't fall).
Daisy in England was wondering recently about stealing seeds from a neighbor's roadside plants. I think your results show this to be a very fine tradition to follow.
*GASP* You think I STOLE these seeds from somebody's roadside plants?....Wull...uh, I.... Look what you did, pb! Ummm, you spilled the beans! You let the cat out of the bag!
Perhaps more accurately, the plant spilled the seeds...
