Florida Gardening

Met Rhonda (rvird01) today

7 years ago

I love meeting Gardenwebbers! Rhonda and I spent a lovely couple of hours talking and getting to know each other and sharing plants. She brought me two lovely pots of succulents, which I will take a picture of as soon as I get some camera batteries.

So one of my angel trumpets and some other of my babies are in great hands, and some of you know how much I love to share plants, so I'm a happy camper.

Deb,

I had a wonderful time today, talking plants and just about everything else :) You have a wonderful garden and some pretty cool plants. Thanks for sharing!

Since I headed to work after our visit, it was almost dark when I got home but I got the trumpet, cuttings and plants in temporary pots and watered. I think I'll hold off planting them until after this upcoming freeze so that I can bring them up on the porch or cover.

Looking forward to going to Payne's Prairie with you soon. Make sure that you have those camera batteries when we go because you can get some great gator shots and may see a few wild horses too.

Thanks again!!!!!

Rhonda

Wow! This just gets more and more interesting! I am looking at that poor bedraggled dark butterfly above and wondering about how it could be called a Great Spangled. No Great Spangled that I have ever seen in NW GA has looked like that. So, I did what I always do and started to research a bit. Lo and behold, I found this SUBspecies of Great Spangleds known as Speyeria cybele letona. When I looked at images of FEMALE GS "letonas" they look just like your photo. So cool!!! I have definitely learned something new, and I think that you are right about the ID. Please keep sharing! Angie

I really don't know if I could chose just one favourite, so many new varieties I have never had before. A couple seem so exotic to me, Talinium (can't wait to gorw this) and "Mexican Bird of Paradise" I am preparing this seed to plant now! So many seeds so little time....
