Garden of E

My Info

Austin, Texas
I've lived and gardened in urban Austin for the past 8 years, after retiring from the last of my several careers. BR (before retirement), most of my life was spent in colder places like Michigan, Missouri, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, and Boston MA. Best thing I've done AR-- becoming a Master Gardener. Other passions-- Austin Farmers' Market, grandchildren, and travel.

What I meant to say...

In attempting to clear up what the plant was in Pam's "reds" photo from my garden (see previous post), that looked an awful lot like Japanese maple, I managed to muddle things further by calling it a "red-leaf hydrangea."  I don't think there is such a thing.  It's actually a red-leaf hibiscus.  Sorry about that.

  2. Not many blooms, and they're so close in color to the foliage that you have to look close. I like it just for the color and leaves.

  4. Lind/CTG, no it dies back in winter. I cut it to about 6" and it comes back a bit bigger each year.

  5. Plant names can be tricky. I read where some of you guys bought Chrysanthemum Pacifica on your recent get together to San Antonio. It hit me that I had suggested to Jenny at Rock Rose to get her a Geranium Pacifica. I don't think they exist either.

  12. Another important fact to consider before deciding upon the Chinese Dwarf is if you
    live in the State of California, you will have to have permission to
    purchase this creature because it is considered a pest.
    When determining the best rose plant to add to a flower bed, you have many choices.

    Even though the above mentioned characteristics can be interesting to say
    the least, more endearing qualities are those of the Chihuahuas extreme
    loyalty to those he's familiar with. i20 is pretty fuel efficient
