Summer in the South produced these beautiful garden plants. My childhood friend, Michelle was nice enough to share with me these photos of the plants she and her husband planted and nurtured; so, I could share them with you. Seeing the black elephant ear plant was a first for me. Have you every seen one before?  If so, where?  This one is in Arkansas. You’re sure to see this black elephant ear photo again in a post from me to those who are on this grief journey.  Would love to share your garden photos with others too. Send them to: mdhester@mothersbackyard.com.  #empathyforgrief; #empathyoversympathy
