Nothing exotic or anything.. just thought it was a nice picture with the Illustris behind it
Swamp Thing
Oh it is. A great pic Ms. Munché!! Makes me want to sing: Swamp Thing, I think I love you!
Oh, it falls under my definition of exotic, I've never seen the dark leafed plant before, it looks like blue/black/green velvet, and really compliments your frilly, pretty brug nicely, lovely photo!!!
I'm not familiar with Illustris, is it similar to EE? Can they be wintered in the ground? I just love them but I could find them in the Plant Files, do they have another name?? TIA!!!
Kell, Kell, Kell, .. if you must sing.. at least do so in key... ;-) thanks
SherryLike.. found it in the PF.. here it is http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/53145/index.html
and yes.. in your zone they can be overwintered in ground
Now you sound like my DH. Yesterday I was singing along to the radio and he said put your finger in your ear so you can hear yourself. So I did and I told him I was much better than I thought I was. He laughed at moi!!!
Mz, do you think it's too late to plant them??
I don't think it's too late Sherry, they are tough. I have them everywhere. They won't overwinter here so I just load up the pots and take them to an empty room at work. The die back, but come back without any problems when put outside and watered.
but keep in mind some colocasias like the more fancy ones only like to be moved in early spring.

The picture is beautiful as is the brug. One of my favorites is just a plain old unnamed pink.
Brinda mine overwinter in the ground here (z7). In fact they are popping up everywhere. They could almost be afforded weed status. lol
Sherry if you want some LMK.
Which pink brug is that one? She's so pretty and frilly.
beautiful Trish. Can't wait to get back over there and see how things have grown up.
ROFL Kell!!!!!!
I really like the Illustris ears. They are pretty almost anyplace. I keep mine in mostly shade. Your pink brug is pretty too.
I love the way you've decorated your swamp Trish. :)
Nice picture.
Very pretty, Trish.
Thank you, Mz, for the reference!!! I just love them, they are my new favorite plant!!!
thanks all.. I love my swamp.. no watering necessary.. no food needed. they just grow and thrive.. some plants a bit too much.. LOL
Awesome! As long as something doesn't go and munch on them.

Gee Ms Munché, I need that kind of garden about now. LOL. Well, I am off to work!
Trish.......such a pretty setting and I love the plant combination. Best of all low maintenance and you would not know by looking at it. I need more garden areas like that........low maintence and less work. Is it mostly shaded in that spot?
That is so pretty Trish. The Illustris you gave me is growing like crazy. It already has bunches of babies around it and is a decent size.
That is so pretty, and lush green, I envy you that, we are getting all dried up we got a 10nth of an inch last night, think it did more harm than good, we need a good days steady rain.
