Lilac Gate: Lady's Mantle

Lady's Mantle

I love lady's mantle

for the way it holds dewdrops and raindrops.

In the spring,

there are froths of tiny delicate flowers

above the leaves.

The whole plant is less than feet tall.

Jessica G. said...: These are so beautiful! I really like the effect the water droplets give and how they look. Especially in the first photograph. They look like little clear pearls perfectly lining the top of the plant!
It's really interesting to look at. The flowers are quite pretty as well.
But still, the way it holds the dewdrops and raindrops is definitely an eye catcher. :); 12:17 PM, January 30, 2012
