Tags: iris , st josephs lilly
Spent the morning with a new friend, visiting a local nursery. Would have loved to work outside but it was chilly and too dang windy. I did find a few new blooms in my yard today, an iris and an amaryllis. .
These red flowers are some my mama gave me years ago when I first started gardening. I am not sure if it is actually an amaryllis, I think it is called a St Joseph lilly.
Began discussing some plans for new beds with hubby.....he is IN. (gotta love that man). One thing that me and my friend saw today was a banana shrub, actually a type of magnolia, I believe. They have the sweetest scent in the spring and are quite managable in size. I also am considering a euclyptis (sp?) tree. I have had both of those before and enjoyed them. The yard I left when we sold our former home was about an acre in size and we grew so many things. Hummmmmmmm......perhaps that will be my next blog.

Re: St. Joseph's lily - that's one wicked looking amaryllis! I like it! They're all lilies aren't they? Call 'em what you like, they're all lilies! |

Sounds like you were blessed to spend time w/your new friend, she has an amazing knowledge of plants! I recently purchased a banana shrub (on Ebay) and am hoping for tons of blooms. Your photos are stunning. Glad you had a good day~Andrea Last edited by garden98011 on April 16th at 10:05 AM. |
