Last year I had an amazing wealth of Datura flowers, although I started the plant in a pot and didn't allow it to get shaded by its neighbors. I swear I can see the beginnings of buds on this one so I have hope. Of course I couldn't have picked a worse time to transplant it...on a hot day in the midst of a heat wave. It's going through a little shock and I'm babying it along keeping my fingers crossed.<br /><br />Hey VW, I was in Spokane last weekend visiting family, it was HOT...thank goodness my parents have AC. Of course we spent most of the time outside so it didn't really help, other than for sleeping. You do need one of those black Sambacus!<br /><br />Karen, thank you! You know how to make a girl feel good. Really though I think you give me more credit than I deserve. For example it seems that a 92 degree day wasn't the smartest time to buy and pot a Sambacus, it's wilting and not responding to water. I'm hoping it will pull through but with all these 100 degree days looming in our future I wonder.<br /><br />Stephanie, thank you! Those plants were making me so happy just staring at them, and the way the light was hitting them, I had to share.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-37708162864602818122009-07-22T19:41:24.911-07:002009-07-22T19:41:24.911-07:00The plants in the last photos look so beautiful to...The plants in the last photos look so beautiful together. A little red here and there... leaves are in different shapes... different shades of green.

Really love what you do with containers, I wish I would learn how to deal with them. Seems like it's a special skill - where to get the pots (and find cool ones that aren't too spendy), what soil to use, how to water and fertilize properly with each plant, when to repot, how to deal with winter... see how much you know?! I have been coveting a sambucus nigra since I saw one this spring, I'm glad you got one and it looks great!Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-39563877344769658852009-07-22T17:29:30.277-07:002009-07-22T17:29:30.277-07:00I've been thinking that I need one of those bl...I've been thinking that I need one of those black sambacus shrubs as well. It's been hot here in Spokane, upper 90's.

Cool stamens on the Manfreda maculosa! That's a lovely sambucus and nicely located with its backdrop partners. Will you get those amazing flowers on your datura growing it as an annual?<br /><br />Maybe you need to stretch your birthday out a little bit longer - at least long enought to locate that cotinus.MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.com
