I try to find plants with our kids' names in them for our gardens. I have several plants with Beloved's name which he says isn't fair because they're feminine looking! I don't have my Brentster daylily yet because it's out of my reach financially until it's more common but have some Cheyenne daylilies. Also looked high and low for the old Melissa Joy daylily which is the exact name of one of our girls. A Salome geranium for my grandmother, etc. I'd love a "fairy" garden someday. I absolutely love the idea of themed gardens but most of my gardens end up being the "stick it" sort of garden - stick a "had to have it' plant where there's a spot and worry about it later! Thanks for the ideas! - Carol
In the Pinebrook Children's Garden, one section is "Grama's Place" (as my sister's grandchildren spelled it!) "Laura" was my sister's name...and I found Laura Phlox, Sweet Laura Alstromeria and Laura Geranium. Lady Francis begonia is for our cousin Fran. David Phlox was already in as our first nephew, then he too died in a crash...and the plant memorializes him. Chrysanthemums of Helen, Grace and Patricia...good resources for name gardens...were all women of significance in my sister's life. Watch out, though, it is potentially addictive...searching for new entries for your theme garden!!
