myrtle

This is something that is very happy in my yard, which is welcome like the daylilies, but which was here when I came (unlike the daylilies, which I planted). I love myrtle's glossy leaves, evergreen, even as far north as southern Michigan. It has blue flowers in springtime. As far as I know, no one thinks myrtle is a weed.

I wish I had more myrtle and less grass in the front yard.
