This is frightening

The building was brought in by a crane and lifted over the house into the backyard. (Before I moved here) It was set on concrete footings and strapped down for hurricanes, but still has a space underneath of it.

I planted canna lilies and daylilies along this side so they would grow up and hide the space. Well doggonit, they are growing right under the building. One of them is 2 times taller than the space.

Well, I dug them out, the one you see in the photo is 4 sprouts on one horizonal root. I have cut the root in four and they are sitting in a bucket of water waiting to go to Canada.

Edited to say: eewwwww, that's not MY trash under there, truly, it's not.

Here's another couple smaller ones behind the bergundy leaves. (In a very tiny voice I will say invasive)

Paridise, these are for you.

Awww Donna,

I didn't know you wanted some of these. Wait another 2 weeks and they will be growing in the neighbors yard and I can share some more.

Molly
:^)))

Sure if you don't mind. What color are the daylilies? I still owe you part of a trade...right?

Donna,

I'm sorry, it's the canna lilies that I am thinning out. If you are still interested, the leaves on them are green. Not sure what color the blooms will be, orange or yellow, or orangeand yellow. Maybe a red.

Let me know.

Molly

Yes, please and thank you.

MollyMc,

Be warned. Usually plant materials sent into Canada a dstroyed by Canada Customs- with the exception of seeds.

Really don't know HOW Ingrid got her stuff by mail earlier this year/last year. Luck, I think

Actually I was told by Customs that they are concerned about people sending plants with soil and plants that can live in our climate 12 months of the year . So if tropical plants are sent without soil or cuttings, they have no problems.

Also forgot to say. Why bother, when you can buy /swop these here in Canada.

I sent some stuff to a canadian member last year. Grown plants but I washed off all the dirt and made sure no bugs, plus they would have to be brought in in the winter or potted up. I didnt have any problem getting them to her.
