How are your gardens growing?

Best to All -- Gae

Very nice! Worth bragging on


Beautiful garden!

I love succulents. Is that Devil's Backbone hardy through the winter? I
assumed not and brought mine in. Did you know they get little red flowers?
I haven't seen any yet.

Thanks, Cindy!

The Devil's Backbone also sits in water as the pot has no hole, but I
bring it inside at the first sign of a freeze.


Crown of Thorns does love water, but it stays smaller if you grow it hard
and dry.


Yes, I think it IS TOO big, but hardly anyone believes me when I tell
them they do fine sitting in a pond of water.

Fig Ivy....I don't think I've seen it, unless it's what they sell in Home
Depot and I too thought it was Ficus pumila.

It is called something else (a woman came by and pointed out that the
big leathery leaves on top were from the same plant and she named it)
but I thought it was Ficus pumila, but she said no. It is the same
looking little leaves they sell in the stores as Ficus Pumila (but isn't!?)

Maybe someone else knows what it is called and the difference between them.


I'm just north of Houston, but I like this group, so.....
