I didn't know that these Caladiums gave a beautiful flower!! Wow, I saw this on a few the other day and didn't pay any attention. I walked by thinking it was just another leaf. Then this morning I looked at it closer because it opened up and it looks like a 'Calla Lily' bloom. What a treat, I learned something today :) I guessed if I had researched these bulbs they would have told me in their description.
Not much too talk about here which is unusual but it's been too stinking hot!!! Even in the shade. This morning it's already 100 on porch. My plants seem to be doing ok. Last evening we did finally get that rain. I have been watering every day, I don't think I can remember when I have watered everyday. I'm a little worried about my Tomato Plants, they seem to have a little wilt, don't know if it's the weather. I don't see any bugs just wilt. Maybe a Bacteria Wilt. I did amend that raised bed with a new Lobster compost , but that shouldn't make a difference. The beans are in the same bed and are doing fine. I know different needs for different plants. Ok, well back to flowers. Here are some flowers growing now. Alot of the white flowers are blooming, Gooseneck loosestrife, White hosta flowers, Pina Colada Phlox, and 'White Swan Coneflower' and a new 'Heuchera'to name a few. Oh I have a 'White Butterfly Bush' blooming. I will take a picture and show.
I am enjoying reading your blog. I too am like a sponge when it comes to gardening and all the critters who visit.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is about Caladiums as I seem to have such bad luck with them. Can't seem to get them to grow. I have an idea I watered them too much, perhaps I will try growing some again next year.
ReplyDeleteThe little toad is cute~
ReplyDeleteThanks Keewee and Meemsnyc for your nice comments on the blog.
ReplyDeleteKeewee this is 1st time I put the Caladiums in, I know I can't believe it.took me this long. I'm starting to push myself to plant stuff I haven't before to see how they will do. I hope yours will grow for you next year :) They are awesome.
