My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Yellow Brick Road Interpreted

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Earlier this year I asked for Yellow rain lilies and some of you catered to my plea for Yellow. Omar and BossyV sent me an amazing amount of them. I was just thinking a few here and there, but ,jeez Louise, I have enough for a yellow trail. My father in-law had a stack of round stepping stones . I have almost enough for a total trail but not quite. Maybe I will have to break down and BUY SOME. I placed my stones and brought in some soil and mushroom compost that I swear is hot cow manure so I used less than I had planned. So I put most of it in the compost pit. I added bone meal and gypsum and some Decomposed granite sand. . I covered over a bunch of cedar sedge that I had been encouraging with all the new soil, but when I worked the amendments into the soil , I raised the cedar sedge to the surface with the spaying fork action and removed the local bluestem as I worked. I then water it down . I really want to get those rain lilies in but It is too wet now . I think the cow manure needs to cool down. I am hemming and hawing at the bit to stick these puppies in..

I still have a bunch of Zepheranthus X "Ajax" and Habaranthus tubispathus that I got from Eric which will be going some other place . Haven't decided yet. They need different soil. Not as rich as what I did here.

Cold you please move so I can turn your mattress over.

Each one of those 4" pots probably has 20 bulbettes in it. I had great germination.

Now, iff I could only fast forward 3 years to their first bloom. Fingers crossed
