six on Saturday, 17 April 2021

Things are finally beginning to get colorful, although the weather remains erratic, going from 80 degrees Fahrenheit at the beginning of the week to 65 today. But, no tornadoes this week, so no complaints from me. The featured photo keys my first entry this week, a bed of brown bearded irises that went from one …

This week's six are all flowering plants that just come up where they will among the leaves and in the so-called lawn. The only credit I can take for them is that I don't cut them down with the lawn tractor or the edger. But for the most part, they are bright-faced little plants and …

1. My six for today are taken from the final days of some things and the early days of a few others. The first is the mum in the featured image that has beaten all odds to become a lovely perennial in a pot. For at least three years this plant defied neglect and a …

1. I have three natives, one invasive, and two basics for this week. I'll start with the basics, or at least one of the yard basics for this area of the Southeast--lantana. Bees, butterflies, and even occasional hummingbirds visit it. The perennial plants below are very basic big box varieties purchased three years ago. The …

I'm starting this Saturday's post on Wednesday while waiting for hurricane Sally to throw some of her outer rain bands as far north in Alabama as Blount County. The projected track has fallen just south of here overnight, but this slow moving storm is having a devastating effect on the Gulf Coast. There are just …

1. This week's six begin with the flower in the featured image, Althea, or Rose of Sharon, or Hibiscus syriacus, whichever name you might prefer. I'm sure I have documented these blooms--even with bees--before, but this time I want to note the great variety of color of the flowers. There are many of these shrubs …

The stem structure of Hairy Angelica (Angelica venenosa) with its compound umbels of multiple rays ending in secondary umbels of small five-petaled flowers just seemed perfect for the featured photo for Six on Saturday, the 4th of July--a little plant fireworks for everyone.  I wrote about this native last June, but I find several more …

Five of this week's six are things that surprised me as I did some general clean up in the garden this week.  The sixth is just something bright and cheerful.  I'm sure you can find a more coherent set of entries by visiting the site of The Propagator, the hub of our Six on Saturday …

1. I'm going to start out immediately with my first entry,  because I've been waiting for these North American natives to bloom for a couple of weeks now--and for a couple of reasons.  I look for the black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia hirta) to bloom because they signal my birthday.  I also am happy to see them …
