I got up this morning and noticed from the kitchen window-- this surprise in one of the perennial gardens in the backyard.

Why is it a surprise? Years ago-- I used to buy every perennial I could find and plant it back there-- or in the one on the right side of the house.
The soil in that garden-- did not have the right nutrients and most of the things I planted died. In the case of the new bloom, I just noticed-- it looks like a weed when it starts growing every spring-- so I pruned it every year.
This year-- because of all of the rain.. and more creatures in the yard than I want to know [ravens, bunnies, etc.]-- I have been a little lax about cutting the weeds down.. I am so happy this perennial said -- "hi again".
Other news-- earpiece claims, a lot of folks like the Clock and Brand Kickers [Sandals] I had in my Wish List. By the way-- I ordered the Kickers sandals, too. I will model them when I get them.
Minor issues with vibrations this weekend.
Here is another angle of the rear garden-- however from this angle, the new bloom is just out of camera range.

Update: 6.25.13: The new bloom is a Perennial Aster.
