I am quite happy we had such a mild winter :) I would love to be able to just sit outside for a few hours and see how many butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other wildlife visit my garden.NanaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425496284594894548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364167854783221638.post-78280948670578117592012-04-07T17:26:43.787-04:002012-04-07T17:26:43.787-04:00Oh, I am so glad to hear that firespike rooted!

You might try keeping some in a pot over-wintered in that lovely greenhouse of yours. Then you'll have blooms next year for sure!NanaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425496284594894548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364167854783221638.post-64952293139079417102012-04-07T17:24:32.184-04:002012-04-07T17:24:32.184-04:00I love the fact that the coral honeysuckle is a na...I love the fact that the coral honeysuckle is a native and the butterflies and hummers are attracted to it. The orange plume is in its second year and just this spring really blooming like never before. The flowers are not that showy, but the hummingbirds find them just the same. <br />Happy Easter to you too!NanaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425496284594894548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364167854783221638.post-53190176234221672052012-04-07T17:21:29.929-04:002012-04-07T17:21:29.929-04:00Happy Easter to you, Susan.

I haven't noticed any hummers on my amaryllis...caught one on the pineapple sage. I'll have to watch closer. I use a lot of orangey-red flowers in my garden because I like the bold color. Have a wonderful Easter!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106128705768954876noreply@blogger.com
