If I had been forced to guess, I would have been very, very wrong. Now I want mine to bloom so I can see them myself. Hoping that mine made it. They already looked sad going into winter. I am thinking I will have lots of openings for this year's garden casting call. So many new opportunities. If only it would stop freezing every other week.Jerryhttps://botanicachaotica.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-27022481074860635652023-04-07T11:07:48.762-07:002023-04-07T11:07:48.762-07:00I picked up that Samurai toadlily when I saw it in...I picked up that Samurai toadlily when I saw it in leaf last fall, it's pretty great!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048985060349929026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-1969430501716879242023-04-06T16:52:39.840-07:002023-04-06T16:52:39.840-07:00Ha!

I think jumping in head first is a healthy response to this year's winter woes. You have a great start and I can only imagine what you'll bring home from Hortlandia. I'm envious that you found an Echium 'SOM' as I've been looking for one to replace my current plant, which is on its last legs (and my initial attempt to grow it from cuttings failed).
