Off to La La Land…

… for my cousin’s graduation. Won’t have time to check out any major public gardens (dang!), but will bring my digi cam to check out the overall green scene in L.A.

Back in a flash.

Salpiglossis ‘Royale Mix’


This pic shows three different colors of salpiglossis, which I have growing in a pot. It’s another one of my favorites. Germination rate in the greenhouse wasn’t great, but I’m happy with even just these few plants. It definitely seems to do better in a nice, fluffy potting mix than in the ground in clayey soil. This one gets bright filtered light most of the day.

Cerinthe major purpurescens


Cerinthe major purpurescens is blooming right now in the garden. I really love this plant. First spied and bought it in a 4″ pot at Annie’s Annuals, but now grow it from seed. Seems to tolerate full sun to dappled shade.
