I'm anticipating that spring may eventually show up anyway. What with all this global warming the east coast has been subjected to this winter I've had some doubts.
I managed to winter over two corkscrew plants ... whether they will actually do anything - like maybe bloom ... remains to be seen since they are listed as "annuals." Just in case, I ordered one more and am awaiting its arrival.
My one passion flower plant has done beautifully this winter so I'm looking forward to getting them outside. The vines on those things can creep some 15-20 feet. Received a second plant of the same variety today.
I've ordered two other passion flower plants - there are several kinds of flowers depending on the color - and I'm waiting for those to arrive.
Received an elephant ear bulb today about the size of my head.
My moon flower seeds have sprouted beautifully and need to be repotted into larger homes. The black bat flower seeds, on the other hand, are a wait and see item. The instructions say patience is required since it could take 1 to 9 months to germinate. Really strange looking flowers native to China. If they don't germinate I'm only out fifty cents so what the hell.
I'll probably just buy some nice size mandevilla plants at Walmart.
Last year I had nothing but flowering vines on my balcony railings and it was just beautiful so decided to try the same thing again this year.
