Photo “Back Yard Mystery*” by Niki Flow.
Check it out! I just found the coolest botany site. I uploaded ^ this photo and they identified my plant. How awesome is that? So now I’m going to do like I promised and share their site all over because I have been bugging everyone about this plant! 😀

And this is what they said:
Answer
Dear jazztizz, your plant looks like a species of Ampelopsis (peppervine). In our part of the world, Amur peppervine (Ampelopsis glandulosa) is the most common species with lobed leaves. Best wishes.
Special thanks to Ann C. for today’s quote. The theme for June is “silence,” “listening,” “stillness,” and “sacred space.” If you have a favorite quote about any or all of those, please let us know!

The theme for the month of January is “journey.” If you have a favorite quote or poem about “journey,” or the journey of life, please leave a comment! Also, we don’t do fund raising. Our only source of revenue is donations and the sale of Elanthian Love Songs – A Bard’s Tale by Sara Michele O’Sullivan (Niki Flow). Starting in 2017, 100 percent of the profits from the sale of this book go to buying artist packs. If you would like to contribute photos, artwork, writing or to be one of our volunteers, please contact us at the email address at the bottom of our About Us page or leave a comment below.

Today’s TGIF is just for fun. I don’t know who took this hilarious photo or who made the meme, but it made me laugh when I saw it. I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend!
