Holly--

Are you making a bottle tree?
I think I have...somewhere....two blue bottles. may be from Champagne?

Donner--I may be able to dig away a small section of my Pulmonaria.
I have it growing in 2 places...small clumps--it is the blue one. And--they are starting to bloom now.

I need to get to my Canna roots. They are still all in my Shop all dry--in boxes..
Usually, I try to plant the smaller sections to share. I haven't even looked...I do have them.

Wind--YOU are the one with the massive bucket-fulls of your red Canna roots last year? Yes?
I took home the last big, ugly pieces...I cannot tell you all how massively this Canna grows!
The roots were lifting up out of the bed, and when I dug it up--it looked like this:
And--BTW--Those round "things" left over from all the blooms--if you let them dry, there are huge,
round seeds inside. One per "pod"....I collected a bunch.

This week is shot--time wise. Too much going on. never even got to my garden this weekend....
Tomorrow is all booked as well--and every day this whole week has something going...

Will need to break it up a bit...
This is the bloom. Different--no? I also loved the vibrant. green leaves on it.
