Nice plants...the gingers are pretty cool! Do you actually grow your peace lilies outside...in the ground?!

Thanks for sharing the aliens who landed in your yard..
very neat looking!

All my Hydrangeas bloom pink because I keep forgetting to fertilize them with the iron based fertilizer.

My Fav of those is the Star Cactus - that is just neat

Very nice stuff! Love the gingers. As a side note, unique means "the only one of its kind" or "without equal, unlike any other". Something either is unique, or it isn't. There are no degrees of uniqueness, so you should not refer to something as being "more unique". It's an all or nothing sort of thing.

Well, they're certainly more unique than what I have in my garden!

Great growing, Lynne!

Thanks everyone. Yes, the peace lily is in the ground. I picked up another stapelia from a plant sale done by inmates in a horticultural program at the county jail. I'll be curious to see what the flower looks like when it blooms. Probably next year as it is a cutting. I took them a bunch of flower pots and some seeds from my agapanthas and milk weed plants and they were very appreciative.

Dian, I mean't to add that we do nothing to the Hydrangeas. The oaks add a lot of acidity. So they are blue.

Wow...can't get over peace lily in the ground. Sure would love to plant them in my garden like that, but I'm sure they wouldn't last the winter. Do you have them in the shade?
