What’s your Name?

I had to go through all my 2013 pictures, and I was surprised at how many great pictures never made it into a blog.

Dahlia

I think the reason this pretty dahlia never hit the blog is because I’m not quite sure if it is ‘Bishop of York’ or ‘Party’. They both came from Plant Delights in spring of 2011. I had some clever trick to remember which plant was on the right of the path, and which was on the left. – You see how well that worked for me. – It’s possible I planted them alphabetically from the house out. That would make this one ‘Party’ and ‘Bishop of York’ dead. It wasn’t a great bloomer, but then again when my garden club visited a dahlia farmer, he said dahlias are heavy feeders, and mine was probably starving.

Castor bean plantHere again the main reason he didn’t hit the blog is I’m not sure what his name is. I know he’s a castor bean plant, but I forget his variety, and I don’t know what I did with the seed package.

After they blew over, I just let them sprawl a little.

Speaking of seeds, I’m taking a break to go collect them. I should have done it before frost, but surely they’re still good?? WARNING: Castor bean plant and seed is poisonous.

CannaI see a pattern emerging, and I just changed the name of this blog from ‘Stuff you Missed in 2012 part 3 of 3′. The reason I don’t know this Canna’s name is I didn’t plant him. I have no idea where he came from. He just grew there. I suspect one of the girls’-weekend girls planted him while I was sleeping. I wish I could tell you his name because those fuzzy balls are just as pretty as the flower, and they look amazing in a vase.

Christmas tree topperThis is both something you missed in 2012 and something unidentified. My friend Trace topped his Christmas tree with that weed that blooms alongside the roads around here. I loved this, and want to steal the idea for 2013, but Trace warned me that at first, every time the air came on, seeds would blow around the room, so he had to take it all down, spray it with hairspray and put it back up.

Trace is an interior designer and he just published his website and started a blog. He’s got a lot of great ideas. Go check it out. www.josephtrace.com

Here’s two more of Trace’s nature-inspired tree toppers.
