Anyhoo, they flower well at the SF Botanical Garden, so I am optimistic they will for me too, someday.chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-51726325199906129142012-04-08T10:37:23.290-07:002012-04-08T10:37:23.290-07:00It's got a bit of a reputation for being diffi...It's got a bit of a reputation for being difficult doesn't it?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-78364382603819457562012-04-08T10:36:46.146-07:002012-04-08T10:36:46.146-07:00I just love reading that you've got Lobelia tu...I just love reading that you've got Lobelia tupa in the ghetto!

One is in the hummingbird garden and the other 2 are in the ghetto waiting for my new shrub border to be ready for planting.<br /><br />Love the pulsatilla but for some reason I can never commit to buying one. I guess they just seem kind of expensive for what is basically an ephemeral plant. Actually I'm not even sure if they will grow here now that I am in CA.Kaveh Maguirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415126992728047743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-64405034046148370842012-04-06T18:12:06.477-07:002012-04-06T18:12:06.477-07:00Oh yes!

I don't dare plant anything yet in the sodden clay soil of my garden - it would be consigning them to certain death. Still, it's so encouraging to see these undeniable signs of advancing spring!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.com
