*Red Lion?* What a STRANGE Fellow.... LOL

So pretty Cindee! I love that circle bed and the blooms just hanging out in the sun! That mutant is a weirdo isn't he? How very strange and neat too!

Hopefully, the cold will be over very soon! We are supposed to have temps in the single digits here tonight...brrr! We are NOT used to that at all!

Thanks for sharing your warm looking scene with us!

It appears as though that Red Lion is behaving a bit differently in the ground than it might in a container... how interesting! I love the circle, Cindee! I can envision that filled with Hippi offsets one day, a veritable ring of color!

Thanks for sharing! :-)

Cindee, I love your circle bed. The mutant is kinda strange but the nature throw strange things some times.

I love that circle bed! Nice rock work :-) Gorgeous planting :-)

Oeyah Cindee! A Mutant! Add's a little variety/oddity to growing eh Peace,Mark

Thanks all, Larissa, Dennis is the masonry layer...this matches the raised beds all around our house. In the summer it's full of Gerbera Daisys and Caladiums...all reds, whites and greens.

Lovely! Man, you guys down there in Florida have such airy looking homes! The style is sort of tropical and almost Spanish in design... so very in tune with the climate!

Around here, it's either farmhouse or brick... or those cheap tract homes that have no insulating value at all, and still cost a fortune! Where I'm at, we're architectually starved! I miss the Victorian style with the gingerbread trim of the northern towns! Anyway...

I'll bet that circle can really fill in quickly with growth... can't wait to see it in another month or two! Do post a photo or two!

OK Here's new mutant and other circle shots!
The circle, blooming out...do I see a Minerva?? Jodi, what do you think??

I am thinking maybe the frost caused these white markings

GROUND BOUQUET
{{gwi:393179}}From Amaryllis 2008-09

OK this guy invites himself and wifey to my Florida Forum plant swap and says he will do a demo on Amaryllis...then he brings all these tubs of what he calls "rare bulbs" to sell at my swap. You better believe my GardenHoes got on him and made him GIVE ME, the hostess, a bulb. They also told him this was a SWAP not a SALE!! He called this black something or other..it is beautiful...very rich, dark red

he also gave me a Madame DuBrant Saint something or other bulblet...

Then there is THIS GIRL(foreground) It is looking more like something I would not throw out into this bed...thought maybe it was the Lowe's 'White' bulb, but no it has some green, nice veining...?? Maybe tomorrow will tell.

OK GOtta Go I got to go to work tomorrow GOODNIGHT ALL!! Wash your faces and say your prayers!

Gorgeous Cindee!! That circle bed is so nice!

I am still laughing about "GardenHoes"!!! haha! Loves it!

-Frank

Cindee, oh yes! I remember the amaryllis guy doing a demo & your gardenhoe jumping at him. Heheh. I recall the price was pricy. Looking forward to seeing beautiful blooms.

Jan

Cindee, very pretty house and flowers indeed.

Inevitably, I have to imagine how it would be like if the flower bed hatta showed at the "Spectacular" posting is somewhat recreated around your circle bed.

Maybe, you already have that plan? :)

(in my best Tweety Bird voice) I tawt I taw a Minerva! I did! I did taw a Minerva! :-)

Yup... looks like a Minerva to me! Or at least, a very close rendition!

It's a lovely circle garden... I await the day your photos show an entire circle of blooming Hippi bulbs! Now, THAT would be eye candy!

Thanks for sharing more of your wonderful Florida gardens!
