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.

If you are local, watch for our ad on CL

for cuttings. 

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!

2026 What a Great Weekend!

 I got to share my garden with several 

folks that stopped by!  Pretty soon it 

will be all gone for the year.  I'm in 

the process of cutting back a lot of

plants and cleaning out the greenhouses

So I can redo and start the process of

filling them up for the winter months.

We will be closing for the season on 

Sept. 15, as those that visited can tell

you the trees around us are causing 

issues with our yard.  Plus I plan to

kill off our grass and put out a new

lawn.

2026 - Smoke!

 Another day of burning and the yard

was full of smoke. No it wasn't wild

fire smoke the wind was from the NW.

I have spent the past few days removing

all but the top leaves on the Brugmansia

and let me tell you they sure didn't smell

good at all.  My hands and nippers were

totally black!

The Iochroma's leaves are yellowing and 

dropping.  

More smoke Sat. night. 8/22

Again smokey evening! 8/26

Again more smoke, folks to the

North burning and no one was

out with the pit.  We had to put

up a new cap on our fence post

and no one was out.      8/27

 Photos to come

9/20/2026

All weekend long there has been smoke

in the air. Each day there has been smoke 

in the air and there is no forest fires!  Tues.

there was paper flakes falling!

2026 Curb Appeal

 

Yea, I know it's a jungle out there!   But 

soon it will all be gone!

8/29/2026

Time to take the first clump of nanas out and 

move some plants down to their area.

2026 Remember I Cut Back
