well hello Emilie!! I too have a Christmas bloomer.....it is a bumpy
little agave? aloe?

Hello Maddie! nice to hear from you. Your little aloe sounds lovely-
I have one but it hasn't bloomed yet. quite small.

so after deciding what plants to house with
Gloria (aka only the Iguana's know for sure who moved to Tennessee from
Florida and is but an hour's drive from where I am currently).

That is so nice of Gloria, I knew she moved to Tenn, but not aware
that she
is so close, say Hi from me......


Thanks for sharing the list with us.

Thanks for reading it! We have had a COLD rain since Fri, so some
things are
not looking as good. The roses are gone, but I'll be starting to
prune, so that
doesn't matter. I did notice some China Lily narcissus in bloom today,
during a
little break of sunshine.

It was even awesome to see Paghat's name in a post.
Long time no see her, eh?

Yes, that was great to see her name again. Missed her......
My love to you. And mine to you.


When you get another abundant crop of white rain lilies (Zepheranthes)
think of me and save them to send me a handful.

I will be glad to send you some Rain Lilies when you get a place for
them
Did you know their other name is Flower of the West Wind, I love that!

Montbretia crocosmia that I used to have. The Lucifer's are easy to
locate. And the yellow one. But the orangy ones that are common out
west are impossible to find.

The old common Montbretia/crocosmias grow like weeds here. In fact
they are considered invasive on the coast wild lands. I could probably
locate someone to share some of those too..

Best of luck to you and hope you are able to find a new garden to
love.
Emilie


despite that there are those who frown upon not cleaning up posts to
answer........yes, I will take white,yellow or pink Flowers of the West
Wind (Zephyranthes to others.......gbseg) and will pot them up to keep
safe during winter months to live with the African Blood lily, the
African Eucharist (African daffodil is the common name and I might have
mis-spelled the proper name). Yes, Gloria is a short drive to visit.
things here are sorta stressful at the moment, and now I might lose my
internet and the library doesn't allow access to the internet, so I will
print out your address so I can e-mail you personally. Happy New year
and lets hope this up and coming new one is better for all of us.
