I know that whatever it is, it needs more sun. Let me try that. But thank you for the offer.

This is crazy. But nice. <br />I'm just letting my bananas do what they want but they're not in the way of anything so it's okay. I dug up a ton of what I think are crinum lilies and because THEY never bloom, I tossed them. <br />Glad you got to spend time with your granddaughter. I know that was fun.

Those definitely are its leaves. <br />Laura asked me for any pictures of her in that garden. She made up a card advertising herself as a garden weeder and that was her first job the summer after she graduated. She had a route of six or eight customers. She also found her apartment with one of her weeding clients.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-81069111324327631412021-03-31T18:30:58.471-05:002021-03-31T18:30:58.471-05:00I'm growing Baby Blue Eyes from seeds!

I'm really surprised, and have to laugh that them, with those first trimmed-off fronds sticking straight up!<br /><br />I need to get down to the San Bernard refuge el pronto and see how the iris are coming along there. There's a nice stand of blue flags that shows up every year, and I'm hoping they do again, despite the freeze.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-83339181802132645492021-03-31T13:25:54.378-05:002021-03-31T13:25:54.378-05:00I like the legacy of plants being shared around - ...I like the legacy of plants being shared around - green pieces of our hearts everywhere.
