"Magnifique, Clare! I can still smell their wonderful aroma! Thanks for the updates, and how's our 'girl' (the wrought iron lady with a skirt!) doing these days? Did she get her pruning?"
leah martin replied to Grant Meyer USDA zone 9's discussion Confederate Rose (Hibiscus mutabilis) propagation in the group Propagation"Wonderful job with the Confederate Rose, Grant! Now that yours are doing so well, I'll also add my 2 cents! I was given some raw cuttings, I'd never grown these (or even SEEN them before). I took them home, and just stuck…"

Marian Bostwick said… Hi, Leah. My Daffs, Wood Hyacinth and varied other bulbs and corms are pushing their brave heads up through the cold soil. I used to worry, but they always know what's up, so I just watch, learn & enjoy. It is almost 50D.(my keyboard doesn't have a degree icon!), and the Sun is out. The life of the hundreds of plantings are waking up! I am going to learn cold weather gardening by the end of Summer to stave off the loooonnnng Winters here. I will start with containers, I already have a group of reservoir pots to experiment with. When it is time to come in during Summer I will start researching. I finally don't take on more than I can handle, but I do need to be busy and I like to be tired at day's end. Have a great day in nature, Marian
