Gary, I've been wondering how your hand is? Take care and post some pics when you get the rest of your plants potted.

Thanks Sue my thumb is getting better but counting money keeps opening the cut, so its taking a while to get well. Also kept waking up last night with my left wrist and little finger on that hand killing me. I not just an ache its really bad, Its got the little finger and ring finger hurting bad. I guess its old age setting in.
It's the pits getting old ain't it...

ok..not even this years... but there is very very very little blooming here yet
one more
Here are a few flowers. One is a spider something bulb, that flowered a month ago. The other is the first time my carnivorous plant flowered. I took this picture today.
No expert here, just an opinionated ponder.
Lovely Bloomers girls

Rocmon, the first pic is a spider lily. I like the pitcher plant in pic 2. I am putting in a carnivorous plant bog garden next to my pond. Looking forword to seeing them grow.
Thanks, I put plants in then years later can't remember what they are. I'm in sorry need of dividing that spider lily. Only one of the bulbs flowered this year.
That Sarracenia flowering was a big surprise. It had a bud for the longest time, once it opened I was very pleased. I just ordered four more of differing varieties, I'm hoping to find the sweet spot where they really grow well.

Well I got three 4 inch pots of Alocasia gageana 'Variegata in the mail today along with one 4 inch pot of Alocasia Boa. I got two 2 gallon pots of Black Beauty Taro and One 2 gallon pot of banana. unknown variety. So I got my plant fix today.
I can't wait to see the Alocasia gageana variegata once you have them potted up! Will the Alocasia Boa get very big? I love this pic I found a while back of Black Beauty Taro. The colors go together.
I bought six Hosta's today. One large Bougainvillea already in a pot with a trellis. One large Encore Azalea.
Where do y'all find the time to take care of all these plants & landscaping? Gotta see pics of the new purchases
Kat I dont have the well groomed city yard like most of the people on this forum. I wish I could but it would keep a couple of full time gardeners working for weeks to get this place under control. Here is a couple pics of the Alocasia I got today.
I have worked quite hard today I finished hauling pea gravel to go around the inground lily pond. I got tired of how nasty my pots looked after mud had splashed up on them. I dont have to weed eat around the pots now either,
Everything does look neat & tidy. The new plants are cool.
