It’s another night of frost warnings, then maybe we will be free and clear. I hope so! We have been collecting plants each time we make a stop at the garden center, and we’re anxious to get them in the ground. We have a bit of a deadline, as we’d like to have them planted before we leave for the long weekend.
The advantage of having the plants indoors, though, is having the chance to watch things grow and bloom right under our noses. The fuchsia are especially beautiful right now, and I look forward to them overflowing the pot.
The platycodon is a new plant for me. It was something we both agreed on right away with it’s pretty violet-blue flowers. It’s also known as Balloon Flower. The balloon-like buds burst open into a bell shaped flower.
And, the center of attention these days remains the magnolia.
The bud seems to have opened just a little bit further today.
