22 Year Old Tree Hibiscus

 

Today was the day to move her to the garage

and start the stripping of the leaves to move

her inside.  The smaller pot was done already

and it will take a couple days to get it done.

It took a couple days to strip the

leaves and leave the buds and 

blooms.   Then bring her inside.

Just to cool for her to be outside.

Awesome Seeds

 

Started working on the seeds yesterday and

thought you would like to see these.  Castor

bean seeds look so marble.   This is the first

batch of seeds with several more pods on the

plant.   I really enjoyed this plant this year as

it was a first time for me to grow them.  Thanks

to a friend in NE that sent me seeds.

Tonight In The Brugmansia House.

 

Last Night's Awesome View

 

From inside the greenhouse.

More blooming to come.

Newest Perennial Hibiscus

 H. Summer Carnival

Yes, she is variegated!!

New Clematis

Are still putting on a great show so I 

don't have the heart to cut them back

just yet.  Enjoy!!

 

Plus a couple old clematis still blooming.

Time To Focus On The Fall Cut Back

Plus move all the special plants inside!  

 

There is still plenty that is still blooming

so they will be left until last.  After the 

the Brugmansia are put way, it's time to 

go bed by bed and remove what I can.  

Also time to put down the Fall fertilizer.

Time to also harvest seeds!!

I was also asked why the early cut back.

Some of the items we are not saving seeds

and so it can be cut back once the leaves 

start to yellow.  It is also time to treat irises

and they can be cut back.  I will also be 

stripping the rose leaves, less mess.  This

past weekend I started to cut back the 

Clematis due to mildew, less mess.  But

have left some as they are blooming like

crazy, the bees still need to eat.  The Pollen

is lacking in some plants so they too can 

go.    Really I just don't do the cooler 

weather like I used to be able to do.
