Crocosmia does great in this region. I see bunches in a lot of yards. Mine need dividing every few years, which gets me even more plants. Hummingbirds love them.
I don't know the species of cactus. Maybe,
Opuntia humifusa? It's prostrate. Two years ago, I planted it in this pot of lilies. It's had no special treatment at all. During the winter, when the lily is dormant, I place the pot under a spruce tree where there might be less rain. These are the first flowers. This is the first time it's bloomed. Very pretty. Flowers last one day, like daylilies, but there are many buds.
I grew the
Echinacea from seed,
planted Aug, 2016. I transplanted the plants
into the ground May, 2017.
There were flowers last year, but much nicer now. These are basically
no-care perennials. I read they might not do well in our wet winters,
but so far, looking great!
The zinnias are starting to bloom. I grow them in rows, like
vegetables. Same for marigolds. These zinnias have a little rust on
the leaves, but not affecting much.
