A few additions to the indoor garden...
An orange lily blooming its heart out (with three more buds to open up in the next day or two). Beautiful!
Two small lemon cypress trees in opposite corners of the above photo. When you rub or brush against the foliage you are rewarded with an intoxicating lemon scent. Pretty nice! Something I didn't expect from these little trees was that they're hardy to about -20°C. A few years ago I over-wintered a couple of them...when the temperature dropped too low I brought them inside. Kept them out on the balcony the following season then gave them away in the fall. It's good to share plants.
And as I'm sure any gardeners out there have noticed are the recently potted Wandering Jew cuttings. As with most cuttings, they looked a little sad for a few days after being potted but by the third day they all perked up. The trick is to not over-water them...make them work for their drinks. They build strong roots that way.
Looks like everyone is happy. Won't be long before the indoor garden moves outside onto the balcony.

Your indoor garden is beautiful and I love that totem pole too!
ReplyDeleteIt's warming up here in southern Alberta so the indoor garden will be moving outside tomorrow.
DeleteThe totem pole tells a story...and one day I'll get to that.
That orange lily looks so cheerful against the other plants. I have to be careful about lilies (sadly) because they sure do trigger allergies. Especially the white ones around Easter time - those things are sneeze-fests!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy from a distance. The orange lily just finished blooming a few days ago and is now planted in a friend's garden. In its place are four Asiatic lilies planted in one pot which should start blooming soon.
