This is one of Tetter's famous Calaloo plants

Just to mention @Meadowlark that the Zinnias are so pretty on your last post on the August thread, I thought I would have to make sure I add some to my garden for next year - jolly good idea

Gorgeous plantings @DrCase !!
Your first pic of the Mexican petunia, mine has to come out of my garden bed. They say that somtimes, usually only in constantly damp soil, they start spreading. Mine looks like an elephant sat on it and is spreading from underground eventhough I have sandy soil that dries out quickly so, I have to dig it up once it goes dormant. I thinkI need to pot it like you have yours.

Mine is in the ground like yours , I’m watching it closely, I like it but don’t want it to get crazy on me

Oh, okay !! Old age brain malfunction !! Mine was fine the first two years, then this year, had to be a loose elephant sat on it.

It fascinates me how much less friction between tree roots and the bulbed plants there is compared to the fuss trees put up when its grass. They usually steal water from grass that is a poor storehouse anyway and it dies. If you have a barren spot because of trees consider bulbs, if you can get them in the ground.

I also notice how the moisture under stones and concrete helps lily family bulbs. Mondo always seems robust nearby those materials. Nice boulders btw- did you raise them from pebbles?
