Contest! Name These Plants and Win a Book!

Kathryn-Depot

Dearest Readers,

Okey dokey. Contest time! For the last two weeks I’ve been scouting around for plants that just might elude ready naming! I might be wrong. There are probably whiz kids among you who can Name Them All. Well, that would be a good thing for YOU, as you would be the winner of a copy of Plant Whatever Brings You Joy: Blessed Wisdom from the Garden. And this contest is open to everybody everywhere, so whoever is first able to name accurately all the plants pictured below will receive a free copy of my book, shipping covered regardless of where you live on planet Earth. ๐Ÿ™‚ To be fair, this will entail keeping all comments in the moderation cue until the contest is won, for obvious reasons. Once a winner is named, I will post all comments at once. Fair? Yes? Okey dokey! Ready! Set! GO!

Number one:

vet

Number two:

white

Number three:

lavender2

Number four:

white2

Number five:

yellow

Number six:

pink

Good luck! I’m looking forward to your comments!

Love and garden blessings,
Kathryn xoxo
