Purple flowers, lobed leaves
Comments (3)Columbine, Aquilegia. Probably an A vulgaris hybrid. Fortunately for you, it's generally considered an ornamental rather than a weed. It does seed around a bit, but the seedlings hoe out very easily....See MoreHybrid Brugs With Outward-Facing Blossoms
Comments (6)Carrie- Thanks for the quick response. I was wondering if hybridizers might have developed Brugs that had a tendency towards more horizontally held flowers instead of pendulous or downward hanging flowers. Thanks for informing me that Datura blossoms face outwards. I wasn't aware of that, being new to this game. Dr. Seuss is a very nice Brug. and has a great color. Many thanks, Frank NYC/7b...See MoreLarge Heavy Flowers - what should I do?
Comments (3)Paul, my plants are getting at least 6 hours of strong Hawaiian sunlight at this time of the year. That will increase as the sun gets higher at the end of December.. I am more concerned at this point as to what pruning measures I should take to improve flower presentation long-term.. Thanks for your comment though....See MoreGroundcover for west-facing, walled-in slope?
Comments (9)At long last, I have photos! The larger area on the right with the false cypress is the part I'm talking about. The narrow bed on the left is less steep and though you can't see it in this photo, is planted with perennials and looks decent once things green up! I'm planning to add some small evergreen shrubs or perennials to that side this spring as well. DH and I have been talking about various options all winter and he is in favor of trying to seed the area with creeping thyme rather than planting individual plants, which I agree feels like it could be a less labor-intensive solution (if it works). I have had good luck with creeping thyme elsewhere on the property so I'm thinking maybe worth a shot?...See Moreirma_stpete_10a
