The 2024 Garden Year
January 19, 2024 January Our year started with snow, ice and frigid temperatures in mid-January. Our temperatures stayed below freezing for almost a week. I think it was the most consistent cold that we've experienced since moving here. Fortunately, it was a dry snow so there wasn't too much damage. Once again, we almost lost the azara and I'm afraid there would have been some breakage if I had not kept knocking the ice off. February 14, 2024 February In past years, it seems that inclement weather seems to hit around Michael's birthday in mid-February. After the January snow and ice, this month was actually quite tame.

ReplyDeleteFrom the picture I thought it was an orchid! Very interesting Canna bloom.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know me and cannas. I finally had to get rid of all of them but one or two. The leaf rollers were unstoppable. They're finally leaving the few I have left alone.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and unique canna. Cannas do well here so this is one for the list.
ReplyDeleteVery unusual canna. By the way your header photo is spectacular.
