I am so happy the bed of Taro and canna that were planted next to the house all made it. The bed of cannas and taro and the hardy banana grove made except for the 2 different dark Taro they did not make it but I do have some of each in pots. All of the purple heart is coming back too, I am not sure about the Lantanas but not going to replace them at all they did not do enough to warrant the expense of replacing them. I will stick to vinca for hot spots of color this year.
All of these plants have made you happy. I wouldn't consider that a waste of time and money. You have such a great eye for creating beauty. I loved looking through this thread. Your containers and the prettiest I have ever seen! I look forward to seeing all of your plants again this year too.
Thanks first thing I have too do is get fit enough too climb that **** ladder and repair what is left of the shade cloth. Last year I tried impatiens in the stream and I guess the Oklahoma sun is too harsh on them. I know you dont have a shade cloth over your pond and yours are beautiful. I will really miss having my stream pretty like yours is.
