Anticipation
This is exciting! I have wanted an orange ginger lily for as long as I can remember. I tried growing it in Alabama and never got a bloom. I do have a white ginger ( Hedychium spicatum ) that has had a few blooms. A few years ago, someone told me that 'Tara' is the only one that will reliably bloom here. I don't know if that it true but I finally got one this year (thank you Dancing Oaks!). Planted in April next to our South foundation and given ample water, I can hardly believe it, but it looks like a bloom is imminent - in its first year! I'm holding my breath...

Looks like an excellent book. Can't tell you how many times I've planted things in spots only to find they clash terribly with their neighbors.

Looks like an interesting book. It is great all the inspiration you can get off the web these days, but you cant beat books for inspiration and ideas.
ReplyDeletei'm always interested to read more on garden color theory jenjahnke at yahoo.com (to avoid spam bots)

ReplyDeleteYour frontyard looks fabulous. I'd be happy to do away with mowing and plant mondo too. Great idea as I love mondo grass. Give me shade over sun any day and I noticed your J. maple-wonderful!
