Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on August 25, 2024, 11:15 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Kev. This resemblance is why I wanted to get this one. I like the pinkish eye in the center of each leaf. Both Colocasias and Caladiums are Arums, and have flowers that resemble those on Jacks in the pulpit (spathe and spadix).

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on August 26, 2024, 12:55 pm, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin, the Beefsteak plant is incredibly invasive here as are most Colocascia and the hardy cassia. Nothingr is redder than a cardinal flower, beautiful. Beautiful rose of Sharon. I have to trim most of my rose of Sharon’s as they are taking up just too much space. They were beautiful this year, they are about past bloom stage at this point in summer. They are a favorite of mine.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on August 26, 2024, 7:33 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. Beefsteak plants will reseed, but they'll do it more in shader gardens. They don't seem to like full sun, as it tends to make their leaves more Bronze, than burgundy. I agree that Cardinal Flowers are "red red". They are redder than the bird. Catholic cardinal robes are pretty red, though, perhaps more like the flower. I usually remove the Cassia seed pods, before they ripen. Interestingly, previously, I posted that my hardy tapioca (Manihot grahamii) was flowering. All its flowers fell off, though, with no seeds to form. My Rose of Sharon's get their annual haircuts, in spring, before leaves appear.
