We were cleaning up the garden, and look what we found:
It's a baby 'Amethyst Mist'!
How big should I let it get before moving it to a better location?
Here's momma:
Just for fun, here's my heucherella, 'Sweet Tea', too:

Comments (7)Have you made Elizabeth Zimmermann's baby surprise jacket? It's the cutest jacket (go to flickr.com or google images and do a search and you'll see all kinds of variations for colors). Pattern was $3-4 at my LYS and it's in some of her books. It can be done in self-striping yarn, with leftovers, etc. Some people add a collar or (my fav) a hood. In case you aren't familiar with it, it's knit all in one piece looking like a blob and then you fold it the right way and seam up the sides and voila! A very cute cardigan! Also, I found the cutest booties, Saartje's baby booties, here's a blog link that includes the pattern link... Saartje's booties I've seen them done with all sorts of yarn and buttons and they're adorable. They would be cute done in the same colors and buttons as the BSJ. Knitty.com has all sorts of cute baby/toddler things, including little animals. It's worth doing a search. Have fun! I'm waiting for someone I know to have a baby so I can get busy on a BSJ but I may have to make one regardless, just because it looks like such a fun knit! :) Here is a link that might be useful: BSJ photo...See MoreBaby blue? Baby blue eyes? Which blue spruce is it?
Comments (5)Difficult to tell for sure. Ive got about 12 baby blue and 2 baby blue eyes, all about that size at present. Of my trees (ymmv), the baby blue are definitely more blue while the baby blue eyes are more silvery (like yours). Ignoring the color, my BBE appear to have that form/branching style. .The best way to tell, however, may be how much you paid. The baby blue tend to be about half the price (or less) of the baby blue eyes, at least here in Ohio (where conifers seem to be noticeably cheaper compared to whenever I see prices mentioned from other parts of country on here). Id say if you paid (full price) $70 or more it is prob BBE. $60 or less, probably BB. I got most of my BB on special (they just picked the worst looking ones and marked em down to 10). I like em both and looking forward to seeing variations in the seed grown BB. The BB are also supposed to be narrower which I like....See MoreBaby Lithops with another baby growing out of its side
Comments (1)I think it is just that they look 'granular' in the seedling stage. Mine do too....See MoreI think it's a heuchera. Maybe a villosa?
Comments (10)Let me just say that I have three of these plants. They were cuttings I received from a neighborhood lady I befriended. I received 6 different heuchera cuttings from her two years ago. Four of them survived and two of them died. Of the four that survived, this plant is the largest and the most vigorous. The above photos are taken at different times and are of each of the three cuttings that grew. The one in the pot is the one that had the least amount of sun, and therefore, I removed it so that I could have the container in a bit more sun. I think I need to visit this neighborhood friend and ask her where she got this plant from---did she purchase it or receive it from a friend? Did it grow from seed? Her garden has more sun and her heuchera may look completely different than mine....See MoreBlueberryBundtcake - 6a/5b MA
