Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread March 2Happy March! Happy Saturday! Well, we have some welcome signs of spring this week, but we also have some welcome photos which Neal in Israel took over the fall and winter months. Here are some of them. Veteran plants - Brugmansia: Our Brugmansia gave a strong flower wave once fall weather began. Beautiful! New plants - As I'm feeling the years, I'm more and more replacing seasonal plants with perennials along the garden's drip irrigation line. Both are gorgeous plants. Good luck with the camellia. Clivia: Winter flowering bulb, to balance my spring flowering Amaryllis. Cold and rain damaged the flowers very quickly. A wonderful observation about the plant. I love Clivia. It is a great entryway plant for coastal areas, and it can be grown indoors in some situations. The Tibouchina also has a bonus: It has lovely purple flowers in summer: Princess Flower is an evergreen tropical shrub native to Brazil that is best used as an annual or house plant in zones lower than 9. In zone 8 it will die to the ground in winter but may come back in spring. This shrub can be trained into tree form and typically reaches 6-8 feet but can grow to 10-20 feet in warm winter areas. It prefers moist acidic well-drained soil. In hot summer areas, it likes some protection from the afternoon sun. It is tolerant of drought once established and has moderate salt tolerance. I have a feeling that the leaves tend to grow smaller in hotter areas. Adventure Touring/Lupine - Good rains have turned the hills across Israel a strong green, and wild flowers are blooming. We joined a group of friends to visit, among other points, the Crusaders' Belvoir fortress, overlooking the Jordan Valley. Lupine grows wild here, as in many other locations in Israel. In the first photo, you see fish ponds down below in the Valley.
Breath-taking.
From By-Tor: One of four entries to the 2024 LA County Fair Culinary competition. This is applesauce, made with Honeycrisp apples, sugar and cinnamon. Good luck, By-Tor! Sharing the first blossoms on the Anna's apple from Southern Arizona. Got to bloom now if we're going to have apples by the 4th of July!
Love to see them!
Great video about growing a Monstera house plant. Stay with it for a little while.
What do you think?
Gardens of The Horde I took several photos of my crocus, but this one's the best. You can see all 3 colors in the mix I bought - white, purple, and white striped with purple. This is their second spring. Love them. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
