Rudbekkia - Little Star

so small in stature but so pretty, did have two clumps but this is the only one to survive.

And what a star it is...what happened to the other clump, Barbara, why did it die?

No idea Waddy, it just curled up and gave in. It was in a good spot too, or so I thought. It lasted two years and then just gave up. I do think though in the border where it was the mole is quite active and sometimes I wonder if he uproots things and they never settle back down after a dry spell. Will keep an eye open for it and try it again in the border. This one is in a damp spot so maybe it was too dry in the side border further up the garden. :O(

Do you know, for a second I thought you meant you were keeping an eye out for the mole!...it's been a long day, ...

lol while it stays in the borders I am not keeping an eye out for it, if it starts to dig the grass (what little is left) I shall find a man who can sort it out lol :O) It actually breaks up the soil very well in the borders, the only trouble is as it goes along the borders it takes bulbs with it and they appear in places I was not expecting them to be. lol.
