I have a planter by the pool waterfall that was bare last year and I had decided not to plant anything in it this year. Two years ago I had moss rose planted in it. So totally all by itself with only an occasional watering this year, it came back and filled the planter.
I love when that happens! It has been my experience that if you just be patient lots of things will come back given the opportunity! This is beautiful and so worth waiting for. I love your photo with this bright sunlight.
