READER PHOTOS! Dr. Seuss would be a fan of this plant…

Today ’s photo take us to Jan Meissner ’s garden in Avon , Ohio , again . Today she says , “ Weeping threadleaf arborvitae ( Thuja occidentalis‘Filiformis ’ , USDA Hardiness Zones 2 - 7 ) seems like a flora straight out of the resource of Dr. Suess . It keeps things interesting in this boring spot in the side thou . The crazy monster hosta next to it looks like it ’s fighting for tending . No one ever sees this this part of the garden , but when I discombobulate compost into my bin that ’s tucked into a box here , my crazy specimen make me smile . ”Thanks , Jan !
