Hello from the Midwest. We cannot believe it has been six months since nosotros terminal wrote to laissez passer yous an update on our adventures hither inwards the Midwest.
First, nosotros take away to study some pitiable news. It appears that our beloved sis camellia 'Kuro Delight' did non become far through the winter. 'Snow Flurry' as well as I ('April Delight') watched as well as waited for her to leafage out but sadly, she did not.
We wondered for the longest fourth dimension if Carol noticed that 'Kuro Delight' didn't leafage out similar she should have. Then the other 24-hour interval nosotros stopped wondering. Carol pulled 'Kuro Delight' out as well as presumably took her to the compost pile where she may serve inwards other ways, if yous know what nosotros mean.
In the meantime, I volition acknowledge 'Snow Flurry' looks a lot improve than I ('April Delight') do. Or is it the other agency around? We create larn confused because nosotros both convey white flowers as well as 'Kuro Delight' was supposed to convey pinkish flowers. Sadly she never bloomed.
However, inwards her house hither inwards the Garden of Southern Follies as well as Delights at , Carol planted iii crape myrtles, Lagerstroemia indica, the other day. We looked at the tags as well as almost busted a bud laughing. They sell them equally perennials upwards hither inwards the north. Isn't that a leaf-slapper? Down domicile inwards the southward those crape myrtles are pocket-size tree.
Oh boy, they certain don't human face much from crape myrtles upwards here.
Anyway, she planted iii crape myrtles inwards betwixt us 2 camellias. One is called 'Enduring Summer'. Good name. We promise it also knows the importance of enduring wintertime closed to here. The other 2 didn't convey names as well as thence nosotros are calling them 'crape follies'.
And inwards front end of them, create yous know what she planted? Crinums! We hollo upwards they are going to "go south" at the commencement sign of winter, but perhaps not, as well as hopefully not. Cindy from My Corner of Katy sent them from her garden all the agency from Texas before this jump Texas!
Did nosotros advert nosotros are all inwards the Garden of Southern Follies as well as Delights? We promise nosotros are to a greater extent than please than folly, but solely time, as well as some other wintertime or two, volition nation which one.
Well, that's most all we've got from now. Please ship messages to Carol to brand certain she mulches us existent practiced before wintertime sets in. Then simply promise these novel crape myrtles as well as crinums grow practiced rigid roots before the snowfall flies. That may endure in that place solely promise of survival.
With a shared love of gardening,
'April Remembered' as well as 'Snow Flurry', the 2 camellias of Sumber http://www.maydreamsgardens.com/
