In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on July 17, 2025, 9:54 pm The fireflies are out abundantly, tonight. The recent rain is to their liking... The "Material Girl" Lily is blooming.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on July 18, 2025, 5:30 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin, your Madonna Lily is beautiful as our other amaryllis. What is the hardness on your little new fern? It sure is beautiful.. I guess you’ll be making a cobbler before long. Your Easter cactus boom is a very interesting color. I don’t grow any jasmine, but I know they do smell good. My neighbor had went over her entrance to her backyard and it smelledwonderful. As usual, Alvin., seeing all your many unusual plants. I bet that Australian fuchsia would really put on a show in Australia., that would be nice to see.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on July 18, 2025, 11:32 am, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. I figured you would know the Madonna Lily. The blue fern is a tropical for me, but is said to be hardy in z8 and up. Yes, the Orange Easter cactus is the last bloom, this year. I have 5 colors of this cactus: red, white, a light pink, a dark pink, white, and orange. Pots controls the size of my Confederate jasmine, which would sprawl, if grown, in the ground, if protected.
