The moss roses look beautiful.  I love the way plants that reseed just come into our lives.  We have a papaya plant and a neem tree that came into ou rlives this way.

yes, that is a great part of them - reseeding - besides being so lovely.

I like any plant that reseeds itself.........makes my life a bit easier.......sometimes....this is a picture of moss roses that have reseeded themselves LIKE CRAZY - from the other side of our pond. They now grow along the path that leads to the pool and although we must step around them......we cannot bring ourselves to move them.......i just love the burst of color.

I love the smell. In the Caribbean, it is a holy plant found near jhandis and murtis. We call it Gainda!!

I have always been a fan of Marigolds too! I like how they reseed themselves from year to year!  sam
