John Viccellio retired after 24 years in the U. S. Navy and began to dig into gardening when he could finally land in one place. He completed the Master Gardener course in 1992 and has since designed and constructed two of his own gardens. He wrote a monthly garden column for ten years and was a regular contributor to Carolina Gardener magazine. John published his first book, Guess What's in My Garden!, in 2014.
He lives in a retirement community in Matthews, NC.
The patch in the photo came from two or three transplants just over a year ago. It has spread nicely, but I will be watching to make sure it doesn’t get into unwanted territory.
NIce, I like Ajuga! Thank you for visiting me on my travels in South Africa – the landscapes really are extraordinarily beautiful. I hope you enjoyed the posts on the Botanic Gardens in South Africa – one more to come – and more photographs on my gardening blog!
Please join me for A Walk in the Garden: a way of sharing gardening observations, spiced I hope with a dash of experience, a dollop of opinion, a slice of irreverence, a spoonful of love for plants, and a cup full of memories.

John, this is something I had avoided because I heard it could be too aggressive, then I ended up with blue-eyed grass! This is lovely.

Thanks, Candy. One of the joys of blogging is to learn about “far away places.”
