At least for me, I've never managed to winter over a cutting, I guess some people do.<br /><br />PGG, I am so happy to hear that! Making up names is a sign of genius right? For the longest time I pronounced cotoneaster as Cotton Easter. Until I took a landscape class and the teacher politely corrected me.<br /><br />myimaginarygarden, glad to hear you enjoyed the book. Wicked Plants is an entirely different writing style but equally enjoyable.<br /><br />Pam, it's it fabulous!? <br /><br />Laura, turns out my library doesn't have it yet. Darn. <br /><br />Megan, I don't know that I have any secrets...other than where there is a will there is a way! <br /><br />MulchMaid, I want to know more about this idea of waxing! I think you might be on to something.<br /><br />Candy, thank you for the correction. You are so right....don't know how I got that so wrong.<br /><br />Les, love the name!

That colocasia makes me wish I had jumped faster when mine were MIA after last winter.<br />Your comment about the black terazzo pots makes me wonder if they'd benefit from waxing. It occurred to me as a way to darken mine, but I haven't tested it yet.<br />Love the eryngium!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-27183889097147977262010-07-22T07:35:15.602-07:002010-07-22T07:35:15.602-07:00You must be a pro at transporting plants while tra...You must be a pro at transporting plants while traveling.

I especially like the photo of the Echeveria subrigada 'Fire and Ice'... oh, and I recently read Amy Stewart's From the Ground Up based on your recommendation.

Back when I was landscaping we called a lot of plants whatever came to mind; cotoneaster became "cotton easter." <br /><br />Or whatever we couldn't pronounce was shortened; mycorrhiza became "micros." Sometimes they were lengthened for some inexplicable reason; weigela became weigelia.
