Purple Mountain Trees

What?! You've never heard of "purple mountain trees?" Don’t worry…that’s just Mikey's nickname for this blue ajuga – a beautiful evergreen plant that adorns our back patio. This is a rather short plant, but in the photo it looks quite tall and majestic. It's all about perspective!

Mikey photographed this ajuga (a.k.a. "the purple mountain trees!") in our backyard.

This is another one of our favorites because every year the ground cover spreads (or "creeps") a little bit further filling in more of the garden hooray! The flowers and leaves are so pretty, but perhaps my most favorite trait is that they attract happy, little hummingbirds! (Still trying to capture that amazing photo...get to work, Mikey!)

When your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
