Your Erica arborea is stunning! I have some Calluna vulgaris 'Firefly' which a smaller, and has the most amazing fiery colors all winter.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-53169085740718253502020-10-30T09:11:52.688-07:002020-10-30T09:11:52.688-07:00Days indeed.

Yes, it’s not the temperatures I’m worried about for the carnivorous plants (I have many others that do great outside all winter), it’s that there is drainage in the dish planters and so the soil can dry out. I’ll need to to keep an eye on it if we have a dry-stretch of weather.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-92079687980787338462020-10-30T09:06:18.609-07:002020-10-30T09:06:18.609-07:00Thank you Kris!

Your greenhouse is something of a work of art, so beautiful. And satisfying to have, I imagine...that is creatively using the space you have. So your Dryopteris sieboldii...any tips on growing conditions - wet, dry, compost, gravel, no drainage, drainage? I'd love to get mine growing like this. Its leaves are nothing like your gorgeous specimens.

Fortunately (for a number of reasons) I've moved back here and SOOOOO appreciate the temperate weather - and the humidity. My surviving plants are all flourishing once again.<br /><br />My point is that I have a better understanding of what severe cold and snow can do to sensitive plants. You have so many lovely and cherished ones I TOTALLY get the work you put in every year to ensure their survival.<br /><br />Many Sarracenia are pelted with snow and freezing temps in their natural habitats, so your "carnies" should overwinter just fine. Your BEAUTIFUL Darlingtonia hails from Mt. Shasta so should do well, too. (But I'm sure you already know all this...)<br /><br />;>M -https://m2labs.wordpress.com/plante/the-greenhouse/diabolical-garden/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-63158673869049246682020-10-29T08:44:05.892-07:002020-10-29T08:44:05.892-07:00I appreciate how much work goes into this annual m...I appreciate how much work goes into this annual migration, Loree, but you do the whole thing with incredible style. Your "greenhouse" looks like a place anyone would enjoy strolling through and your winter substitutions in the outdoor garden are perfect. I love that new-to-me variegated Agave sisalana too.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
