2026 - Canna Stuttsgart

 

One has to love all the different variegations

that our variegate Canna throws off.

2026 More Morning Sunshine

 This was blooming 9/28/2026 morning!

One more to go!

9/25/2026---Yesterday's Storm

 After finding many of our plants laying

on the ground or knocked over onto other

plants.  We have decided it's time to close

the gardens for this season.  Our focus now

is to start putting the plants away for the 

next fall storm comes in.

We have removed our ad from CL and

will root cuttings for spring plant sale.

Only one left:

All were cut down to the soil yesterday.

2026 Double Yellow

 

Today the inside was orange, can't wait to see

what it does over night.

I have 4 more marked special so I can't wait to 

see what these do.

2026 Albino Bud

 

Fall Is Around The Corner.

 It's time to start cutting back the yard 

and putting the lovely ladies of the night

away!  

But I have to put the walls up on the 

Brugmansia House.   Busy week ahead.

 

A Beautiful Surprise

I had some visitors to the gardens

and shared a few plants a few weeks

ago.  The husband and daughter came

back with the most awesome Sour dough

bread, it was so lite and heavenly!

Thank you so much!  Best bread I have

ever eaten!

2026 -- Working On The Brugmansia House

 

Our son and I worked on fixing the roof area

on the Brugmansia house before putting up

new plastic today!  I just have the north wall

plants to move and hopefully move the table

to the east wall.

More photos when it's done.

9/21/2026

I was able to get the over flow hoop house

set up and covered with a shade cloth.

Filling up fast!  I need to get the walls up on 

the brugmansia house today!

8/2/2026

Still working on the brug house but getting closer 

to getting it completed.  The extra height will be 

welcome due to the oldest brugs are tall this year.

But I came up a little short, just waiting for the

next roll of plastic.

2026 Lost Brugmansia from 2021

 

I took several tip cuttings and lost the 

mother plant due to a virus.  To my 

surprise the one I thought was my 

double white turned out to be my

lost Brug.  Louka X  OS Flamme 

from seeds from L. Salonova

The cuttings were all labeled until

the squirrel found it's way into the 

greenhouse.  

I am so happy this one survived.

There is an earlier post on this

Brugmansia when I got her in 2021.

This Brugmansia I took 6 tip cuttings

and it take a few years to get them 

this size.  When I talks about tip cutting it's 

around 1 inch in size.  Some say it's

the best way to do these plants.  

First blooms!

2026 Morning Fog!

 Already!  I have been watching the leaves

are starting to drop and change colors.  It's 

time to start working on the greenhouses

and getting them ready to be filled.

This time is year is when I disappear so 

that everything can be put away safely.

The yard will disappear shortly.   I am

just great full for another great year of

all the bloomers we have been blessed

with.

I hear we are going to have a hard winter

so it's important to start early.  The Sedum

is already turning the red color, so fall is 

here!

Fall Crocus:

Sure signs of fall already!

2026 Morning Sunshine!

 

Plus we are getting drizzle/rain!
