Garden Pic Wednesday: Fall Gardenia Bloom!

-
Image
I went out to mow the front yard and found my neighbor whom we're friendly with (James) working hard on chopping a very old Sago Palm out of his landscape. I think it's original landscape from 25 years ago. Sago Palms were tropical trendy with landscapers in the 80's and 90's and they're cute when they're young; kind of like a shrub of palm fronds. Then they get old and get taller, taking on more of a stubby palm tree form 3 to 6 feet tall and they produce madly around the base. James had dug a 20 inch hole around it and still hadn't reached the root bottom. He did find about a dozen little baby Sago's and pulled those out.  The stem was about 10 inches thick and 24 inches tall from where it was cut off to the bottom of the hole. James decided he was going to use his truck to yank it out. So, he tied a strap around the Sago stem, tied it to his truck and pulled---it didn't budge. The strap just popped over the top. I think he tried a couple tim...

Wednesday Garden Pic: Night Blooming Jasmine!

-
Image
I've spent the past two days clearing out a spot for my new Night Blooming Jasmine topiary. I wanted the use the area behind the rain garden, which has been a jungle of leaf build-up, native daylilies, flag iris, spider plants (houseplant type), glad greenery and Chocolate elephants ears. The elephant years weren't thriving, so I dug all those up to move. I mowed and clipped everything else to the ground, giving me space to plant the new topiary.  It's the only sunny location I had left to plant it.  I replanted 4 of the Chocolate Elephant ears around it's base, then transplanted a bunch of Ajuga ground cover in the area as well. Everything else will grow back by fall, probably. (The Chocolate Elephant ears turn a rich burgundy color.) We'll see how it does. This is Florida. Soggy is pretty much our middle name. Here's my supply of Ajuga: It's on the north corner of my house among ferns with a Hybr...

I've Been On A Life Journey...

-
Image
My life journey transitioned in 2020 when my husband of 38 years unxpectedly died in December that year. I was numb for months, yet still functioning thru day to day life. The Lord sustained me, granting me insights into my husbands death.  Now, looking back aside from those high-points, that first year is kind of a blur. Of course, priorities changed.  First thing I did,  right after his death, was adopt a cat from a local no-kill shelter. (She picked me!) We had a plan to adopt anyway and I enjoy a cat for companionship.  His death totally rearranged my life--I had to rearrange my daily routine, rearrange my house, my closets, my social activities... I'm still with the Navigators, doing ministry in the town I live in that's outside a military base, though now alone without my life partner. I don't have family in town or any children. So figuring out comfortable social activates to get myself out among human interaction became #1.  I joined a a local garden clu...

Todays Garden Pics: A Showy Front Corner: It's all the 4 O'clocks that make this corner bed showy! I took the picture when the Easter lilies were in bloom back in April. Since them, some of the young 4 O'clocks in front of these others have matured and today I was adding young Vinca's along the outer edge of the bed in front of them and other places--- I have dozen's of Vinca's volunteers and they transplant readily. Glad & Gardenia Vase Because the Gladiola's fall over, I usually pick them as they bloom and fill vases with them. This is a nice hi-style arrangement I made with 3 Glads and a Gardenia low in front.

Garden Pic Wednesday: Stinkhorn Fungus & Alyssum

-
Image
Last week, one winter day when was warmish and muggy after a rain, I found this "Stinkhorn" Fungus in my flower bed that's along the walkway to the front door.  Also known as Column Stinkhorn or more amusingly, as "Dead Man's Fingers." Stinkhorns have emit a smelly odor to attract flies and so on, who then brush against spores and carry them off--that's how it reproduces.  They are quite unique---though I don't put my nose up close!   Last week we had our first hard freeze--everything except this Alyssum and the Broccoli in my raised garden got freeze-fried.  I was out of town right then, so unfortunately I wasn't able to cover my Salvia or anything. But amazingly, this Alyssum carries on!
