mdehnersTime to clear out, clean up and throw out;>:
Toss-The Golden Dewdrop, Almond Bush and 2 of the Brugmansias(Salmon and Pink Perfecktion). The 1st two because while they have nice looking, nice smelling blossoms, they don't have many. Not worth the space. The Brugs are dbls and they've never produced any blossoms that didn't look like used Kleenex. A White Dbl does the same in high Summer but the rest of the yr produced lovely Pom-poms scented like Magnolia.Also, a Torch Ginger that's HUGE but has NEVER bloomed in 6 yrs. I guess our seasons are too short....
Clearing up/out-The Lankonese Liy and the Crocosmia 'George Davidson'. Both have been VERY healthy and vigorous both here and back on Hummingbird. The LL is an 8' tall Cream pendant Lily with Purple splashes and has multiplied quite well, forming a clump. The Crocosmia has Chrome Yellow Sprays of blossoms in SUmmer and soft, sword-shaped leaves that fold over, forming what looks like a Green wave.
Cleaning out-The Citrus trees and the White Turk's Cap. All need serious Pruning;>.
In addition, I'm collecting seeds from my White Cypress Vine and my Japanese Imperial Morning Glories. Lots from the former and a s%$tload still in green pods.
Looking forward to my Spring order of Fall planted bulbs to arrive, probably next month!
Cheers,
