Plant Rescue

For some reason, it has become a practice in the best of neighbourhoods to leave all kinds of things for swap on the nature strip, which can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how you look at it. Lately, my neighbours and I have taken to plant rescue missions. We saved a bare mature daisy bush, not knowing if it would survive, that had been left out on the strip in the heat of summer. Lots of tender care later, this spring, the bush has rewarded us with a bounty of white Paris/Marguerite daisies, and verdant foliage. I guess this is the cycle of life/death/rebirth in action, what we thought was dead and beyond life, was actually dormant, waiting to be nourished and rescued. Here is a pic of the daisy bush now, and you can almost hear it saying "thank-you". So if you happen to see any abandoned plants like this anywhere, go on a rescue mission and you will be rewarded!
