In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on June 24, 2025, 10:11 pm Some of you may remember, that I posted some pics of my black bamboo going to seed, last year. Generally, they say, when bamboo goes to seed, it dies. So, all spring, I have been looking for bamboo seedlings, on the ground, expecting to pot up some to grow on. Now, what is this? Re-growth from the roots? The tops are all dead. I thought the "old" plants were dead. Maybe, it's the "last hurrah": https://photos.app.goo.gl/qR5R9EP7NprByrPQ8 The INDIAN PHYSIC, Gillenia trifoliata, a woodland favorite, is blooming... https://photos.app.goo.gl/EBJKTUxY8JXJxXRu8 The FLOWERING FERN, Incarvillea delavyi, not a true fern, is blooming... https://photos.app.goo.gl/KN45vo7j5sYxgqk98 https://photos.app.goo.gl/xGB7yHkJj5aDXtrn8 The JAPANESE SNOWBELL, Styrax japonica 'Pink Chimes', is blooming.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on June 25, 2025, 5:45 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin, that so-called flowering fern is really pretty and unusual. The Japanese snow bell is a new one for me. I do like it. The dwarf goatsbeard is gorgeous. The tropical star apple foliage is pretty. I bet when it grows up some gorgeous plant in the garden. Good luck with all your new additions. Another hot and dry day here although there’s a chance of thunderstorm this evening some severe they say. It’s really dry here right now but there’s a chance of rain about every day for the next 10 days so you know summer pop-up shower, I hope we get some high watered some yesterday in the back early

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on June 25, 2025, 10:39 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. The flowering fern is supposedly hardy down to z6, but since they are planted in a shallow spot, that might get soggy, in winter, I'll likely dig the tubers and store them, over the winter. The Japanese Snowbell is the Asian counterpart to the Southern/American Snowbell. both are of the Styrax genus. The hot heatwave has broken, here, but will remain very warm, for some time to come. I welcome the rain I have been getting, because I know how dry it can get here, later in the summer. I love, and appreciate the "free water", too.
