Amaryllis in Bloom

February 10, 2014 by Jeanne

The amaryllis is in full bloom, unveiling surprises each week. Four blossoms at the top of the main stalk have produced a spectacular flower, with another side flower emerging. “Apple Blossom” amaryllis features dark salmon-colored petals striped in white and a light fragrance that’s slightly spicy. It’s holding up well in the east-facing plant room, and I give the pot a quarter turn each day so that it grows straight and tall. I haven’t even had to tie up the stalks to the bamboo stake I placed in the pot.  It’s really holding its own.

Not what will my next Monday project be? Stay tuned and come back next week for my new Monday gardening project!

Volunteer Plants – Nature’s Unexpected Gifts

Volunteer plants are one of nature’s most delightful surprises. They spring up unbidden, often in places we didn’t expect—cracks in sidewalks, corners of compost piles, or nestled beside a stone foundation, like the vibrant coleus seedlings growing near my deck shown in these pictures. These botanical freeloaders aren’t weeds; they’re plants that have reseeded themselves…

Watermelon in the Home Garden
