In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on June 19, 2025, 11:06 pm Lots of rain, over the past two days. I'm glad because really hot summer weather is set to arrive, just as the Summer Solstice arrives... The other BLACKBERRY plant I have, is now also blooming. Unlike 'Black Satin', its blooms are white: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gSefSXtycgjU961T6 The GIANT ALLIUM, Allium giganteum, is blooming! Alliums are related to onions... https://photos.app.goo.gl/2gkE1pu41ke4Ye678 Look! A piece of stem fell off one of my Alocasia macrohrriza, plants. If I simply stick this piece of stem, in a pot of soil, now that the "broke end" dried, will a new plant form, or will the stem piece simply rot? What's your guess? https://photos.app.goo.gl/vuqFY15UwC3vVzRe9 One of my "Christmas" AMARYLLIS is blooming now! This yellowish variety is dubbed 'Lemon Star'... https://photos.app.goo.gl/UvF9xsFGF8Rvr8az5 The BLADDER SENNA, Colutea arborescense, is blooming! This plant is another bean and pea relative. For those familiar with what bean and pea flowers look, can see the resemblance.... https://photos.app.goo.gl/pkZ8jQuUmy2wa8H4A The NINEBARK, Physocarpus 'Dart's Gold', is blooming... https://photos.app.goo.gl/iB38gpcE3ndKzqng6 The AMERICAN HOLLY, Ilex opaca, in my yard, is getting ready to bloom. My plant is a female: https://photos.app.goo.gl/2WqhM9w7RScjgvA9A The MEXICAN ORANGE BLOSSOM, Choisya dewitteae 'Aztec Pearl', is beginning to bloom. Oddly, to me, the flower scent is more that of anise, than orange flowers... https://photos.app.goo.gl/WuB9HntpgvdDqmWz9 - NEW PLANTS - Below are two TRICHOCEREUS cuttings, I got. One is 'Desert Gold', and the other is, 'Redlands Orange'. The Etsy vendor labeled their paper wrappings. They have already been potted up... https://photos.app.goo.gl/1HSEi7CcvusXJBT77 Below is a pic of a new CAROLINA LUPINE, Thermopsis villosa, plant I got from Green Promise Farms Nursery. These plants take heat better, than regular Lupines/Lupinus... https://photos.app.goo.gl/WS9fELob6iun9V7Q9 Below is a pic of a Heartleaf Philodendron, Philodendron cordata, plant I got from an Etsy vendor... https://photos.app.goo.gl/9qnLLgCZuUwZR6mi8

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on June 20, 2025, 6:46 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin. I think Slicasvia stem may root🤞. I. like the Allium and Amaryllis. Trichocereus cuttings will be great when they bloom. I love Trichocereus. Many are hardy for me here in zone 8 a. Mexican orange blossom is beautiful , wish zI could smell that. The nine bark is beautiful in bloom. Thst is an intense yellow color on the Bladder Senna! Thanks , Alvin,

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on June 20, 2025, 11:28 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. The Amaryllis isn't cold hardy here, but the bulbs will rebloom, if dry rested 4-5 months, during the fall and winter. Hopefully, the Trichocereus cuttings will root, and eventually bloom. The Bladder Senna, like other bean and pea relatives, will reseed a little, but less than Rose of Sharon. It has roughly the same hardiness, as Mimosa.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Jason Western PA on June 22, 2025, 4:30 pm, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Looking good! Do you have many holly trees up that way? We have some very large ones. I got a nice sized one two years ago. It is about 7 feet tall.
