πŸ˜πŸŒΏπŸ’šWow, how beautiful! I wish I could plant mine outside too.
So beautiful!!! I wonder if these will grow in my climate zone, 8b? I’ll have to look it up. πŸ˜‰
@Lunatik4 thank you! I ordered shade screening to keep mine shaded during the summer. I’ll be staking in points to create a shade canopy since this area gets a lot of sun. I’ll be watching the sun’s trajectory to gauge the width when it’s needed.
@AnthuriumQueen That's a good idea, just like in nature. Love it!!πŸ₯°πŸŒΏπŸ’š
@LaSiguanaba they should however they may do best in a pot. I plan to dig up the bulbs if I feel it’ll get ok cold in Winter. I lost some beautiful cannas this past Winter because of the freeze we had up here. No one else felt it the way we did but we are up high so we have to have our own weather stations on our property to get β€œaccuracy”.
@AnthuriumQueen I may have to look into this. I have regular a black stem elephant ear in my house, but it’s gotten so unwieldyβ€”I need to repot it but I’m scared because it’s so huge! 😳 I’m still pretty new to keeping plants. ☺️
@LaSiguanaba you’ve got this! Be fearless and they’ll love you for it!
What a BREATHTAKING picture! Your garden is an absolute dream! πŸ₯ΊπŸ€―🀩 The plant babies in shot all look so happy and vibrant too ☺️ Congratulations on your new growth! πŸ₯³πŸŒΏ
@signorebean thanks! It’s been a labor of love! This garden area has been ten years in the making since it was barren ranch land when we bought it. Turning it into a garden has been a task but definitely a rewarding one! So many bees and butterflies and birds that it’s definitely an oasis for me! I have several junipers that I’ll be turning into bonsais as they grow. I just thought if it this morning. πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ₯³
