Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on June 29, 2025, 4:42 pm, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin, the variegated chinaberry is nice. The chinaberry is invasive here. I like the new hardy succulents from high country’s. I had those but just too wet here, they died after two winters. I like the Easter cactus, I hope you get Amarillo fruit to set. The fireball lily is great in bloom. !

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on June 29, 2025, 9:55 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. The Fireball Lily is aptly named, I think, lol. Which of the two plants pictured died from too much wet? Not sure if the variegated Chinaberry sets fertile seeds.
