It's a miracle yours doesn't have bamboo mites, they almost always do around here. The tree fern's back outside? If the winter stays this mild, I could see it being out for good now. I sorely missed mine last year, I'm replacing it just as soon as I think I can get away with it. <br />Your phormiums are so beautiful, it's a good thing they made it through.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-79020888999285018502010-01-17T19:42:25.603-08:002010-01-17T19:42:25.603-08:00Kathleen, I was really surprised when I saw the pa...Kathleen, I was really surprised when I saw the passion flower. Last year it was in a pot and looked dead. I planted it in the ground and it went crazy! So glad it's still happy.<br /><br />Grace, I think I've learned that Flax in pots is the way to go. Sad because they get so HUGE in the ground but death is never fun. Sorry to hear about your Dicksonia! Was it an oldie?<br /><br />Pam, foliage is what it's all about in the danger garden! Thanks again for the excuse to get out there and take a look.<br /><br />Teza, you're Zone 5 right? (I think) The Euphorbia Blackbird is hardy to Zone 6...that's close! Push it!<br /><br />Lauren, those are the ones in a pot. I didn't show the ones in the ground. They aren't so pretty....unfortunately.<br /><br />Les, I look forward to seeing your evergreens, and I enjoy learning more about gardening on your side of the country!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-30666438698170884822010-01-17T16:06:07.162-08:002010-01-17T16:06:07.162-08:00Like Teza, I really admire the Blackbird and your ...Like Teza, I really admire the Blackbird and your photo of it is a stunner, as well as your flax photos (we have a hard time with flax here, too humidy hot). On the other side of the country we are also in a land of everygreens. I'll likely not post for after GBBD saving my evergreens for another day.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-91003718717948631062010-01-17T13:11:58.392-08:002010-01-17T13:11:58.392-08:00Fantastic Phormiums!

Thanks for participating (even with your bum leg!) in Foliage Follow-Up. <br /><br />And yes, cast-iron plant can get by on very little water so long as it has shade. It's found in almost every Austin garden and takes summer's heat and drought in stride.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-1212016235183449182010-01-16T18:53:24.899-08:002010-01-16T18:53:24.899-08:00Hi Loree~~ Your phormiums are fabulous.

I've got mine in a pot doing fine. For a Hebe it sure is a slow grower. FYI: Fry Road Nursery has a few dozen varieties of Hebe for sale as plugs. 75 cents a piece. ... For January I have to say, your plants are looking pretty nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-23875078667747387452010-01-16T17:47:28.710-08:002010-01-16T17:47:28.710-08:00Lovely--and you're so lucky to keep so much gr...Lovely--and you're so lucky to keep so much green.
