Hopefully in a week I can plant my first broad beans in the cleared space. It will be interesting to see which critter starts feeding on them first. Probably the rosellas. Karen, I have those 2 zygos too. I have a few zygo cuttings growing in the greenhouse that look just like your Madame Butterfly and oddly enough, one is Madame Butterfly from my large original plant. It is not a variegation on mine, just that the cuttings have been in the greenhouse since last year and need to get outside. The whole tray of plants look variegated . I have never seen a real variegated zygo myself. I have one which has red & green segments. Hasnt flowered so I dont know what color it is. I see your Aspen goes pink in the cold too. I saw a couple of my whites this year, actually bloom white instead of having pink tones. It was not as cold earlier so they stayed white. The cold always turns many pinkish , not only the whites. After the last few cold mornings , the whites are all looking pink now. Charleen, your garden is looking bright with those colorful blooms. I like your pond. My birds would like it too. The magpies love their bath. Hello Colleen, Dianne, Sue , Teresa and Anthony. The sun is trying to climb over the trees so I am hopeful of it warming a bit. I will soon get warm anyway , once I start moving the irises. Enjoy your day and try some of this delicious Chocolate Cake. Thanks for the morning tea Charleen. I have been trying to get online for ages this morning. The internet must have been cold...lol Happy gardening. Jean This message was edited May 17, 2012 10:26 AM |
