I didn't know that Calla Lilies are invasive - I guess they are best appreciated as cut flowers or in pots, but not in the ground.camissonia (Arleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10156059239148602974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-70457236968147089072011-05-05T22:06:04.993-07:002011-05-05T22:06:04.993-07:00Hey, Lisa and Robb, I took them out because I want...Hey, Lisa and Robb, I took them out because I want to propagate the local iris that grows here, which is a pale creamy yellow with lavender hints, Iris Fernaldii. Iris I, learn are notorious for hybridizing, and I want to grow the local wild ones as they are. So I had to take out the other iris for that reason. I was lucky enough to "rehome" all the iris I took out. Thanks for coming by. I did not yet update this post with names as I promised I would, sorry about that.Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294472166693008328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-64649224268700053042011-05-05T20:38:27.464-07:002011-05-05T20:38:27.464-07:00Looking good!!!

Mine are perking up, but not quite that far along. I'm encouraged to see the hummingbird sage filling in. Ours just started blooming for the first time, and it would be wonderful if it fills in that space. Now I need to climb down the hill and inspect the coffeeberry. I wonder if ours is blooming and I missed it?Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-52164283438100372892011-05-02T01:51:50.394-07:002011-05-02T01:51:50.394-07:00A lot is happening there.

I'd try to collect the seeds of that one and plant more. We have Gnaphalium Californica and I love the common name, 'Pearly Everlasting.

A lot of those virgin white flowers are their graves - with many dried out bee carcasses in the bottom!

I have an arum lily...(At least you like our Erica). I have an arum lily that volunteered with a Strelitzia. Moved the bit I could dig out, and planted it in Apple Creek. But it is volunteering again. Is able to grow again from a tiny bit of root. I can only imagine how you must battle if you want to get rid of it ;~( Oh caterpillars eat the leaves, but I guess not your caterpillars?Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.com
