Canna Lily: Rita’s Garden for FOTD, Mar 30, 2024

This is such an unusual Canna. I’ve never seen one either this shape or this color, but I love it.  Rita has promised to give me a starter when she thins them out.

Good Bye Old Friend! FOTD Mar 23, 2024

The time finally came to move this 20 or more year-old Agave from its pot on the terrace down to the sculpture garden in the lot below. I have watched countless hummingbirds feed at its flowers as I sat at my writing desk over the years and will miss it, but it has long outgrown its pot which you can see above had to be shattered to remove the plant.  Good bye old friend. Here it has made its way all the way around the house and is about to exit from the front door to make its way down the street to the lower lot.
