Blooming Leopards.....
« on: October 14, 2006, 10:42:47 AM »
My Leopard plants are now in bloom.  These plants are grown mostly for the foliage but their short-lived flowering stalks are a nice Fall accent to the garden.





And here’s a close-up view of the flowers…..

The flowers don't look like they belong to the plants!  Very nice look together tho.

LOL - Come by any time. (8:-)  You wouldn't be the first...   People routinely drop by, mostly complete strangers, and they often leave with cuttings or seeds.  I enjoy giving away excess plants, seeds or taking cuttings for them but I admit it really irritates me when someone comes by during the darkness of night and digs up a plant they like. &-)

Mikey means what he says - I have "come by" and raided his garden for many years now. (Didn't realize that the good stuff meant a midnight stopover). Actually, I got the good stuff legitimately too - he is very generous!

Cheers,

Mike

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

I'll probably never make it to that part of the US so I'll just have to admire form afar.

Thanks Terri but there's a trade off.  It's too warm here for peonies and hostas. :(  And tulips are treated as an annual....
