I'll have to find out how they handle a "normal" winter when we get one. I don't think that Alstroemeria is a thug. I believe it grows in a clump. Loree would be better able to answer that.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-51123396805787699762016-03-09T18:16:38.828-08:002016-03-09T18:16:38.828-08:00Pretty sure this is the first time I've seen a...Pretty sure this is the first time I've seen a tree frog at this house.

This is especially useful when you have a large garden to fill, and planting in mass is not only possible but preferred. I always liked Parahebe perfoliata but they usually quite beat up after winter. Do you cut them down and let them regrow? Is Alstroemeria isabellana a thug? Some of it's family members are hard to contain.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-49350892264388209782016-03-07T13:50:11.039-08:002016-03-07T13:50:11.039-08:00Oh that little frog!!!

I'm trying to decide if I want to start seeds this year. I'm already so far behind, I don't know if I want the extra work of planting them out in the garden. But it is so exciting when they germinate! I am always wanting more of that Parahebe, good to know it roots so well.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-4751778278905164052016-03-07T08:37:38.347-08:002016-03-07T08:37:38.347-08:00Me too!

Greenhouses don't accumulate much heat when there's no sun. Now that the weather is warming and we're at least getting breaks in the clouds, I can finally water and fertilize to push these little seedlings along. I'm very excited for all of these. The foliage is fantastic and I love the orange flowers.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-40237511824075935652016-03-07T08:02:48.114-08:002016-03-07T08:02:48.114-08:00I don't care how many times it happens, I am a...I don't care how many times it happens, I am always thrilled to see the green of tiny new seedlings coming up!

How cool is that?<br />Funny: I bought the same Glaucium seeds from Milton's this year. I didn't actually know that they were from Amateur Bot-Ann-ist. Thanks for the link.<br />I saw a photo of the Glaucium with seed pods on a Plant Lust blog post and immediately searched for seeds. I had heard of horned poppies and had seen photos of the plants and flowers, but never the seed pods. Now I know why they are horned poppies. At first I thought that Patricia had a cool sculpture in her garden.<br />My plants are a bit further along than yours. I got great germination and those glaucous, hairy, ruffled leaves are to die for! Looking forward to seeing how they do in the garden this year.
