Happy Heavenly Birthday Momma. Had the cards played a different hand you would have celebrated 84 years today. I still look for you. I brought a rider today who wanted to come. He said he missed you and it had been ten years since he had seen you! “Well almost” I miss you my mother, we will see you soon enough I know. Happy Birthday Sibie!

I think I have developed a new giant Agava strain. The first picture is the normal variegated one. Look at the second picture though. Look at the much more defined and broader yellow margins on this one. It was a pup from the mother plant and I got 11 more pups from this new strain. One is almost completely yellow. I think it may be time to email Monrovia! Lol maybe I have something interesting for the Gardening world!

After planting tens of thousands of bulbs in the South zone 7b I must say most were very disappointing this year! Excessive rain, lack of chill time as we had virtually no winter of consistency, and rapid rise and fall temps forced bulbs to sprout the freeze. I must say it was at best disappointing thus far. Some success. Right now I’ll say about 80% failure rate and I planted 32,950 bulbs. Very heartbroken this spring! My bulbs were of the best quality and sources from some of the best suppliers so I am certain I had great stock. It just wasn’t meant to be. Tonight we have a freeze warning! Not everything was bad though!

Hellebore are my Winter favorites!
