| "Black" calla lily. 6.19.15 |
Walking around. I thought I heard teeny tiny screams coming from an apple leaf - looked down and saw a lady bug munching through a field of aphids like a
Tyranosaurus rex munching through a field of bunny rabbits.
The "black" calla is kind of elegant. This one is 3 years old. Got the usual winter treatment, dry out in fall, store in garage, then move back outside in Spring and water / fertilize.
Butterfly on Tiger Lily. Nice. Lilies don't seem to survive at the Battleground place. But this one did.
Squashes have flower buds. Corn just might be knee high by the 4th of July.
Sal's Fig seems to be the best adapted to the Battleground place. I don't know yet about the best adapted at Vancouver - Chicago Hardy, King, and Lattarula are in their first in-ground summer at Battleground.
Good demonstration of how much faster Four O'clocks grow from last year's roots, as opposed to this year's seedlings. Today I noticed another plant coming up from last year. Long dormancy - they must need a lot of warmth to awaken.
