Thanks for that link, Vickie. Hope they can pull it off. I put in my 2-cents worth. But, unless they have an ugly dog contest or prizes for the best birdhouses I’m afraid their want be any Blue Ribbon for me. LOL. Never know though. My SIL won the Blue Ribbon for Houseplants at the Peanut Festival one year with a pineapple plant she started from the top of a grocery store pineapple. Pineapple plants really are cool looking when they start producing.
Carrie, I’ll send some lantana your way. What we have is the bushy type. They should make good standards. You can help me determine once and for all if the seeds are viable. A plant produces lots of interesting looking seed clusters. I like those as much as the flowers.
Susan, we will take our cues from you and grow Lamb’s Ears in containers at first to check them out. I’ve never seen them survive in the wild here. There are some reports from Illinois that they have escaped cultivation. But, I’m not seeing any reports of problems in the Deep South. I’ve noticed wooly foliage plants don’t like sustained moisture on their leaves so they probably can’t handle our humid climate without help.
Kay is looking for the ultimate blueberry muffin recipe. It was blueberry-orange muffins today. This is my favorite so far. If summer had a taste, this would be it. I’m the official taste tester. Oh, the sacrifices I make for the advancement of the culinary arts. LOL. (Jim)
