Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, Aug. 10
Hi, everybody! Hope everyone is safe from the storms and fires! Anybody taking precautions? Today, Don in Kansas has some interesting thoughts on color and horticulture: What color? What would you call it? “Artist Etching” is generally described as “pink.” Judge for yourself. Meanwhile, “Snowy Apparition” is called “near white.” I'm impressed that Don can grow all three of those to produce such perfect specimens. Does anybody else grow one of these cultivars? What color is it? If you click on the "Botany" or "Photo gallery" links at the bottom of Don's link above, you will find more enticing photos.
Diana has pawpaws: Buds: Blossoms: Fruits in June: I found some growing instructions from Tyrant Farms for goumi berries. We featured Diana's last week. Yes, you can eat Goumi berries! Perfectly ripe, vibrant red Goumi berries taste like sweet, tart cherries or red currants. The trees or bushes have thorns and are related to Russian Olives. Like their relatives, they are nitrogen fixing. Interesting! Apples, apricots and apricot leather, from a cousin.
The first ones are tropicals. There are some different ways to cut more common fruits later in the video. Farming, etc. Ah, Nature Diana has a REALLY GIANT mushroom. For contrast, here are some really tiny mushrooms. And here's the inside of a mushroom cap.
Puttering Don in Kansas does some specialty photography. Here's a post on stereo photography. Click on the link to practice crossing your eyes with a couple of different flower photos. Here is a non-stereo photo of an orchid from the same post. Adventure
Pismo Beach Gardens of The Horde Mrs Bohunk bought this red shrimp plant in hope of attracting malachite butterflies only to find out they don't lay eggs on the red version of the plant. Fortunately it turned out to be amazingly hardy plant that is covered in long lasting flowers that occasionally attract a hummingbird. It's a year around bloomer here in SW FL and it's super easy to care for. What's growing in your garden? Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
