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 …

I'm posting much later than usual this Saturday after a Thursday of watching at least 14 tornadoes skip across Alabama, sitting for a while in my safe place with a bicycle helmet on, and discovering that the storms blew out my internet modem and now not-so-smart tv. Surely there are already dozens on lovely SoS …

I want to remind my email followers again to click on the blue title of the post to switch from email to the web to see the featured photo and get a better layout. And I want to remind all readers to visit the page of The Propagator for a feast of photos and guidelines …

1. Plants are finally beginning to bloom! The daffodils and the hellebores are the most energetic right now. And they begin my six today. First the daffodils, which are blooming in bunches throughout the wooded area of the garden. I can't specify a particular variety other to say they are Daffodil Gert's garden, that is …

Today's six, except for the camellia in the featured image, are more items of promise than of--well of fully realized interest. But it has been a while since I posted on Six on Saturday and except for a couple edging projects that are not ready for public display, what you see below is what I …

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 …

This week's six are straightforward--leaves. Red leaves and gold leaves. I'll begin with the gold ones: Ginkgo leaves, as seen against the backdrop of a maple tree in the featured image. I adore this tree in part because it is a symbol of the small, private liberal arts college I taught at for 41 years …

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 …
