No harm--just that they will root fine just under some lights. Oasis may be a good idea for the Lantana. Still not sure I have room to try more rooting things. Both shelves in my small light set-up are now taken. I put my baby AV's under there too. Donner has given me quite a few--and they were just languishing on my dim LR windowsill. Also several pots of Blushing Suzy bunches--the leaf-bunches that grow along the vines-like every 6"-8". This is an experiment. Just cutious if they will root. So far--they look good. I am also almost done with collecting all the seeds that there are. Still a few straggler Zinnias, but the seeds don't seem to be setting a well in this colder weather. Now to sort them all out and organize them in the little baggies. Holly, Did you see these pictures I posted on another Thread here? I am at a loss what kind of a Lily they came from I saw the pods growing on this clump all summer--but I did not see any blooms. However--it is behind my bird bath and a short stump in the back of my :YUK" bed corner. I may have missed it. The leaves are shorter and more upright than the day Lilies right next to them. I have a long ago memory that I planted these there. I thought they were Tiger Lilies growing from seed. I remember how long it took--so when they got a semi-presentable size--I planted them in this tight spot. Any guesses what kind of a "Lily" it may be??? They are NOT Tiger Lilies!! Here are a few pictures: 1--Here is a pod and all the seeds. They are the size of a med. sized pea. 2-Here is the pod close-up. There were about 6 pods. 3--Here is the clump. You can see how tight they are--and also the leaves--thinner and upright. Any guesses???? |
