Welcome to my blog--a journal about my urban garden, the critters that
live and visit it, local places of interest, and an occasional rant on the environmental issues that affect us all.
We been having raining everyday for a month, and this morning the rain lilies bloomed. I purchased a new plant this week a “Curcuma Alismatifolia” from the ginger family.
Does anyone know the common name?
Any plant from the ginger family becomes dessert for snails and by the looks of the leaves my already has been visited.
Hi Rusty. Congratulations on the Siam Tulip (Curcuma Alismatifolia). This ginger is very beautiful. My Rain Lilies are also in bloom. How many different colored Rain Lilies do you have?
Rains everyday! sounds like a dream to me. We are simmering at 44C with no signs of rains yet. The sight of those lovely water lilies has increased my yearning.
I am a late-comer to the pleasures of gardening but I come from a long line of farmers and gardeners. I was born on the island of Cuba and my family always worked the soil, cultivating plants for food and beauty. Today I live in the fast and hectic city of Miami. My back yard is small, but I am slowly trying to make it into an oasis and a refuge from the hardships of urban living. I live with my wife, two grown daughters, and my faithful Australian Cattle Dog, Rosie.
