Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on July 25, 2024, 10:25 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin, Jane is beautiful . My daughter has one in her yard. The z pheasant Berry flower shape is reminiscent of a pheasant in flight, hence the name. Brunsfelsia is a beautiful plant, I love the crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ , no clue why the Lucifer name??? The intense color of the Maltese cross reminds me of color of pomegranate bloom color. The Cslls lily is nice. I used to have two colors of those but poor growing conditions took them out. Mimosa are a month or more past bloom here. Since they all originated I. Same place, you e we gulf think they would all bloom simultaneously regardless of The place grown???

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on July 25, 2024, 9:48 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. Jane is great for giving a summer encore. Saucer Magnolias sometimes produce summer blooms, but I think Jane produces more. I checked the branch tips, and there are still alot of developing buds left, on stem tips, to bloom next spring. Pheasantberry could have been given its name because of its resemblance to the bird. Yeah, Lucifer is red, like the color the Devil is given in artist's renditions, of the Medieval and Renaissance art periods, complete with long tail, pitchfork, horns, goatee and mustache. His dwelling place is reputed to be fiery, and red hot. The "neon red-orange" Maltese Cross was given its name, because the individual florets, in its flower heads, are each shaped similar to a Maltese Cross. Mimosa is a "late to leafer", up here. Leaf buds are just breaking, in mid-May, this far North. As a result, Mimosa doesn't begin blooming, until around the Fourth of July. This year, due to an early spring, blooming began in the latter part of June. Mimosa is usually in flower, here, until around Labor Day. It may stop a little earlier, this year, since the start was a little earlier.
