NICE photo. I've never seen a tulip from that angle, and it's great. Sigh. I'm still in a no-garden situation, and Old House Gardens is having its clearance sale on spring-planted bulbs. Ain't no way I can get a 4-foot dahlia in a container.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Nice! Do you plant anything in it when bulb season is over? Yes. Its a shade garden at the bottom of an airshaft between buildings. 2-3 hours of morning sun in summer. I usually put impatiens and creeping petunia vines after the bulbs and we did fall/winter cabbages this past year too. Its just a cheap way to make a weird ugly roof/escape route outside my window look good.  Small startup cost and low seasonal budgets but it makes a big difference Real hurthling! fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Apr 29, 2024 |

Saw Empress Wu and a couple other neat hostas at one of the Home Depot’s, the other one and the Lowe’s didn’t have much interesting. I’ll be trying to make it out to a few of the greenhouses in the next week or two to see what’s up over there. This is bagmonkey with the hosta report

I think in a few weeks the weird hosta guy down the street is going to start selling offshoots again, which I am looking forward to, but I may have to look further afield to track down a Sum and Substance. My aunt has one and it's monstrous. Empress Wu is holding out at four shoots, which is two more than it had last year when I planted it, so we'll see what happens. Some of my others haven't come up yet but I put them in last year and don't know what to expect from them in terms of early vs. late growth. It crossed my mind today that for a while hostas were named after some German botanist whose name was Funke and were called funkia instead of hosta and that seems very silly! In non-hosta plant news, the deadly nigjtshade a friend gave me appears to have survived the winter, which absolutely delights me as I believe it's a bit of a chancy prospect in this climate.

We have plenty of nightshade if you ever need any more.
