It didn't go so well -- when I removed them, I literally had roots and no soil. Once transplanted in good garden soil, I cut them back and crossed my fingers. I think the finger crossing helped the most.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unadjustednonraw_thumb_1207.jpgBromeliadshttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unadjustednonraw_thumb_1232.jpgIguanashttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unadjustednonraw_thumb_1230.jpgWeedshttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/unadjustednonraw_thumb_1212.jpgMurphy2018-07-22T17:19:57+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2018/02/28/the-great-hyacinth-challenge/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11d8.jpgHyacinthshttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11c8.jpgHyacinthshttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11c2.jpgHyacinthshttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11cf1.jpghyacinthshttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11bf.jpgHyacinthhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11db.jpgHyacinth2025-07-09T14:47:18+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2018/02/04/these-are-the-days-for-projects/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11ad.jpgSanseveriahttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11aa.jpgSanseveriahttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11a7.jpgSanseveriahttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11a4.jpgSanseveriahttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11bc.jpgBromeliadhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11ba.jpgBromeliadhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11b2.jpgBromeliadhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11b9.jpgBromeliadhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11d0.jpgOyster Plant Dwarfhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/unadjustednonraw_thumb_11d3.jpgOyster Plant Dwarf2018-03-04T15:41:42+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2017/12/21/bloomin-update-59-twenty-years-to-life/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/unadjustednonraw_thumb_114b.jpgCrinum LilyI spent some time dividing a clump of Crinum Lilies, which gave me a whole bunch to share with neighbors and friends.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/unadjustednonraw_thumb_1125.jpgBromeliadA friend gave me these Bromeliads, and they seem to bloom just before Christmas. https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/unadjustednonraw_thumb_112a.jpgBromeliadBromeliad "Little Harve."https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/unadjustednonraw_thumb_1130.jpgCorn PlantMy neighbor also has Corn Plant (Dracaena fragrans) lining his property.

Joe and I tried to get a photo, so between my camera flashing and Joe's holding a flashlight, this is what we captured. The spider and the web seem to sparkle. https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4406.jpgCelosiaLast year, I planted a bed of Celosia "China Town." This year, I was treated to this surprise, self-sown, and very proud of its hot red stem. Yes, I could have weeded this out, but if a seed has managed to live against all odds, then it deserves the chance to live its full cycle. That being said, I think I'll plant them again next year. A full bed of red leaves, red flowers, and red stems truly looked gorgeous.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4352.jpgPineapple LilyThis Pineapple Lily was given to me by friends, Catherine & Robert, when they arrived for dinner. I had never heard of one, but after reading up on them, I have learned that they are from South Africa and require little care. In my cold hardiness zone, however, I will haveto bring it indoors for the winter, and then restart the growing in the spring. I'll keep you posted on this new project.2011-08-25T23:05:32+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2011/08/20/a-boy-his-bug-its-like-a-little-prayer/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4364.jpgMantis at homeBack where he/she belongs.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4363.jpgMantis behind the wheel.Now, don't start changing my station.2011-08-24T12:21:23+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2011/08/17/searching-for-peace-on-common-ground/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4340.jpg100_4340I especially liked the blue of the evergreen and the yellow of the Black-Eyed Susans.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4337.jpg100_4337Echinacea along the path to The Peace Labyrinth.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4336.jpg100_4336The Peace Labyrinth at The Common Ground Garden in Sayville, NY.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4332.jpg100_4332The path leading to the Peace Labyrinth.2011-10-13T22:39:24+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2011/08/14/bloomin-update-7-before-after/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4321.jpgDahlia BloomAfter: "Vancouver" Dahliahttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4299.jpgTeddy Bear Blossomhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4273.jpgTeddy Bear Sunflower BudBefore: Teddy Bear Sunflowerhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4271.jpgDahlia BudBefore: "Vancouver" Dahlia2011-08-17T11:29:19+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2011/08/10/book-review-anthill-antics-in-alabama/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/anthill.jpganthill2011-08-22T01:32:03+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2011/08/07/angst-in-august/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4231.jpgOvergrown 2https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4227.jpgOvergrown2011-08-09T02:11:52+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2011/08/04/bloomin-update-6-glad-to-see-ya/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4112.jpgPink Gladhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/100_4285.jpgBleeding Heart Vine 2This is a plant that my grandfather rooted for me years ago, from a plant that I had given him for Christmas.

I'm not sure how that Geranium got there, but clearly, I dropped a seed.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4060.jpgCaladium and CannaHuh??? Canna in the Caladium pot? Let's just call this one "An Ode to the Letter C."https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4059.jpgPetunia and Elephant EarThat large leaf in a pot of Red Wave Petunias is an Elephant Ear. This one has really thrown me, although I kind of like the lime green color of the leaf in combination with the red blooms. Or is that just me saying, "I meant to do that."2011-07-22T01:37:15+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2011/07/18/cicadas-the-sound-of-summer/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/cicada-1.jpgcicada 1Photo courtesy of http://www.entomology.umn.edu2011-07-22T22:55:08+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2011/07/14/bloomin-update-3-welcome-home/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4105.jpgSunflowerI decided to give sunflowers another try. According to the seed packet, this is "Italian White." Does this look white to you? Is the color white really yellow in Italy?https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4119.jpgCosmosOne of my favorite easy-to-grow-from-seed flowers: Cosmos.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4113.jpgBalloon FlowerCampanulla or Balloon Flower getting ready to burst.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4069.jpgAnother HydrangeaPlease, humor me with another Hydrangea photo. This is just outside of the front door, and began as one those Easter gift plants that was forced to bloom too early.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4068.jpgLace Cap HydrangeaThis lacecap hydrangea impresses me each year. First, because of the violet color. Second, because of the size of the flowers.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4058.jpgPinkI'm not sure of the name of this plant, and I'm not sure if it's a curse or a blessing. It's practically invasive, spreading by means of runners. The clumps of pink flowers, however, are sweetly smelling and perfume the air, especially at night.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4057.jpgGeraniumThis is my reward for saving this Geranium each year. I actually planted this from seed several years ago, and I cannot part with the hot color.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4054.jpgNelly Moser ClematisMeet Nelly Moser. I thought I lost her over the winter after a wind storm ripped the trellis out of the ground. I put the trellis back into the ground, and "Whoa, Nelly," she returned.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4043.jpgDouble Morning GloryI planted Morning Glory seeds around the same trellis as Nelly Moser. This is a double flowering variety.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4086.jpgWhite GeraniumNormally, I stick with traditional red Geraniums. This year, I started white ones from seed, and I'm glad I did. Seeing them poolside reminds me of the colors of Santorini.2011-07-19T21:24:33+00:00monthlyhttps://nittygrittydirtman.com/2011/07/10/bloomin-update-2-delightful-daylilies-dazzle-daily/https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/100_4074.jpgDaylily FrontMid-season color in the front border.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_4027.jpgLittle GrapetteAt last, Little Grapette makes an appearance.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_4021.jpgBela LugosiBela Lugosi takes a bite out of the front bed.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_39991.jpgDaylilyA few years ago, I purchased Little Grapette.

They're still on the small side, I think because the giant pine sucks all of the water from them.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_3992.jpgLiatrisBees are going crazy with the newly opened Liatris.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_3956.jpgNiko Blue HydrangeaThe Niko Blue Hydrangeas are full of blooms. I actually rooted several of these from the original one that Joe's grandmother had planted about 40 years ago.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_3955.jpgPurple HydrangeaPlease indulge me one more Hydrangea. The blooms on this one are various shades of purple.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_3954.jpgPurple PetuniasPurple Petunias.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_3950.jpgLavenderLavender is planted along the walkway to the front door. My plan was to have people brush passed it, releasing its scent. Of course, I find myself intentionally making sure I touch it so that I can smell its fragrance.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_3949.jpgHardy GeraniumThe Hardy Geraniums are out of control.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_3946.jpgRed Something HydrangeaThis is the "red something" that I purchased from Home Depot a few years ago. Clearly, the blooms are not red, but they do appear to glow in t he dark at night. This picture probably does not do the shrub any justice -- you'll just have to take my word for it.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_3945.jpgPink HydrangeaI have a love affair with Hydrangeas. I rooted 5 plants from the original one, and planted them along a stone walkway leading to my backyard.https://nittygrittydirtman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/100_3914.jpgGloxiniaRemember the Gloxinia that I wrote about in a previous post about bringing plants home from the office?
