In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on September 11, 2024, 11:16 pm The flowers are gone now, but they have been replaced by bean-like pods. Anybody recognize what this tree is? https://photos.app.goo.gl/uTyeDvnjeBkkpqS58 You have probably heard of Siberian Squill, which blooms in spring. Have you ever heard of FALL SQUILL, Barnardia numidica. It's blooming now... https://photos.app.goo.gl/nHJ8uMm11umRgv9Q8 The PINK OBEDIENT PLANT, Physostegia virginica rosea, has commenced blooming. It is a great late summer-early fall bloomer... https://photos.app.goo.gl/sRVGLiBJ1iXsDNZs6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/qscNkyDRmTFE5h4E8 For those who like variegated plants, here's the BAMBURANTA, Ctenanthe lubbersiana, in late summer... https://photos.app.goo.gl/VWSw1KUmb8dr7Gsq9 For those unfamiliar with the Madonna lily, the season's growth usually dies back to the root, in late summer. However, a new green rosette of leaves form, at the base. these leaves are evergreen, and will remain all winter... https://photos.app.goo.gl/mrvD7eM6Xfe2ueBu6

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by David-Shenandoah Valley of VA on September 12, 2024, 1:43 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" That's another interesting collection of plants. That first photo looks like it belongs in the pea family. It reminds me of Mimosa. The Squill reminds me of liriope. It has grass-like leaves and lavender flowers on stalks similar to that. It's blooming right now too. I like the Obedient Plant.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred Sac on September 12, 2024, 1:02 pm, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin , you gonna let mimosa seeds drop and spread? You shoe more unusual, not often seen plants. Thanks for shoring more of your collection.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on September 12, 2024, 10:19 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. Believe it or not, alot of the mimosa pods stay on the tree, for most of the winter. Some get released, on gusty days, and land somewhere in my front yard (where the tree is). I do see a few seedlings sprout, but nothing like the amount of Rose of Sharon seedlings I pull every year, which I would consider invasive, if the seedlings didn't all sprout relatively close to the momma plant. I have 5 rose of Sharon momma plants, and am working hard to keep the varieties I have. Not interested in hybrid Altheas, lol.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on September 12, 2024, 10:26 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, David. The fall squill blooms do resemble those of Liriope (which is also getting ready to bloom), but are more pink, as opposed to the blue or purple of Lilyturf/Liriope. The fall squill leaves are also a tad narrower, than those on Liriope. Unfortunately, most local nurseries, here, do not carry unusual things, unless on a surprise basis. Not enough plant lovers, out here, who look beyond growing only the most easy to grow, commonplace things, lol.
