Cindy Pierce posted a blog postElectrifying Lobelia
Lobelia on my patio in dappled sunlight I believe I have found the perfect blooming plant for my hanging baskets, the ones that are positioned to get only morning sun. Blue is a cool color that usually fades into the background, but the electric blue of Lobelia is exquisitely vibrant. I personally love blue flowers and I have been admiring this low trailing, blooming plant in other people's yards and containers for…See More

"These are the photos I took during the week of the paddock filled with Taro plants. They harvest them and then replant as soon as possible so there is always a crop growing as demand for them is so high!"

"Cindy, seeing your post has just reminded me I have a photo on my camera of the Taro crop and will post later."

Myan Jencks Zone 7-B SC commented on Cindy Pierce's blog post Elephant Ears"Hi Cindy love your post. I planted them the first time last year have always love them. Was afraid it got too cold but they are about 2 inches out of the ground so I am so excited. I have the black magic and the green. I thought my one green one was…"
Bonnie Hannum ~ Missouri, USA commented on Cindy Pierce's blog post Elephant Ears"Oh, and I've been pairing the Black Magic with fuscia coleus in the front/underneath and red canns behind....it's pretty stunning. I will post some pics later this summer when they've grown. No nubs showing yet......"
Bonnie Hannum ~ Missouri, USA commented on Cindy Pierce's blog post Elephant Ears"Cindy, thanks so much for the info! Elephant ears are among my favorites and are definitely a "staple" in my gardens just as rice and potatoes are in the house!! ;) Can't live without 'em! I just…"

"Cindy, after discussing Taro here, I was driving out to the Farmgate to pick up some bags of topsoil and passed a paddock full of Elephant Ears being grown for the Taro. Unfortunately for the first time in ages I didn't have my little camera…"
Cindy Pierce's blog post was featuredElephant Ears
If you wish to create a bold and beautiful tropical background to your landscape this summer, now (March/April) is a great time to plant Elephant Ear bulbs. For about the past 15 years, I have been fortunate to enjoy Elephant Ears in my back yard with very, very little garden work involved. There was only one really very cold winter that I recall when I had to plant a few extra bulbs the following spring, otherwise my Elephant Ears have reliably sprouted and multiplied throughout the years. …See More
Cindy Pierce commented on Cindy Pierce's blog post Elephant Ears"Hi Lyn & Denise: Lyn - No, the Black Magic isn't mine. I agree it is stunning! I did see a few black ones in the garden centers this weekend here in North Texas. I may give them a try. The area I have mine…"
Contributing GardenerLyn (Sydney,Aus) commented on Cindy Pierce's blog post Elephant Ears
"Cindy - Thanks for the great info on Elephants Ears. They are grown in huge quantities here more for the Taro, that is utilised in large amounts by the population of Samoans, Tongans and other Islander folk.
The beautiful Black Magic one you have…"
Denise commented on Cindy Pierce's blog post Elephant Ears"Nice article , I have had this plant for a few years, but has not grown as well for me. I live in zone 6 and I bought another one this spring in hoping I can find a good spot for it. Do you fertilize it at all? "

Continue Ranunculus
Posted on March 5, 2012 at 8:19am 2 Comments 2 Likes
A very good friend of mine, Stella, surprised me with a gift of a brilliant yellow potted Ranunculus at work one day recently. She knows I very much enjoy flowers and had seen this plant at the local home improvement store and was spellbound by its gorgeous springtime-reminiscent blooms. She thought I might know all about the plant, but alas, I only knew its name! I had often seen the paperflower blooms in catalogs and gardening books but for some reason I did…

Thanks Cindy for the advice. My scrapbook consultant asked me about the scale and I my trees have it too. Ouch my cat is biting my hand while I type!! I am really enjoying Garden Share. I live in TX and we just put down 5 yards of mulch. I will try and post some pics soon. My front yard is a paradise for hummingbirds and butterflies. I guess I am in Zone 8.

Trudy Dudley said… - Hi Cindy, thanks for accepting my friend request. You must be starting your seedlings already in Texas. Here in Vt., I'm afraid we'll be waiting a bit longer. Living here up on the hill, I still have snow, but there is hope, my spring daffodils and crocuses are springing up. Happy Gardening, chat soon!

Unknown tropical plant
