Apostle Plants In Bloom

Hello again,

I am taking a quick break from planting seeds, tending to fragile seedlings and bringing all of my Hibiscus plants outside to add some color to the yard. Not to mention designing my new line of wedding cake toppers featuring my carved birds. There are so many fun things to do, I really wish that I didn't need to sleep!




I wanted to share with you a few pictures of my Walking Iris plants that are blooming in my greenhouse and on the kitchen counter. They are one of my favorite plants as they propagate themselves by putting off a stalk or stem that bends to the ground where an offshoot attaches itself into the soil. So amazing!!




Happy gardening!
Helena

Signs Of A Southern Spring






Hello,
I have been playing in the dirt, starting seeds, propagating plant favorites, and creating, but not blogging. With the encouragement of some friends and customers I will try my best to blog at least once a week. I am trying for daily but pressure gives me writer's block. I wouldn't make it writing for a daily newspaper would I?

Last week, while taking a weekly trip to our local library with my daughter Hope, we oohed and ahhed over this Japanese Magnolia tree. It seems early to be in bloom, but we're not complaining.

Happy gardening,
Helena
