Sometimes surprising things happen in a garden, things you don’t plan.
A good example is this unexpected iris/aster combo. I planted the iris, a gift from a friend who had too many, years ago. Last fall, I planted an aster nearby. The aster grew tall and bloomed, as asters do, just a couple of weeks ago. Then, one stem drooped a bit and found the perfect resting spot nestled in the leaves of the iris.
Serendipity!
