What's blooming now? - Page 3

GoDawgs · May 5, 2018

It's that time of year when everything's starting to pop!

The Clematis (name forgotten) has been blooming next to a Knockout rose for several days now. It usually climbs the small trellis there for it but this year decided not to. I just noticed it yesterday.

And the first Asiatic lily opened yesterday. Again, the name forgotten.

The first 'Percy Wiseman' Rhodie opened fully yesterday too.

There should be daylilies soon, probably 'Stella D'Oro' as she's usually the first one out of the gate.

Rhododendrons won't grow in my area. Azaleas are all over the place. They are at their peak in early March.

If any grow in my part of Georgia they've been planted by homeowners but they're found out and about on their own in north Georgia up towards the Smokies.

This 'Little Gem Magnolia' has started to bloom and is adding a really sweet scent to the air when the wind blows right. It's a dwarf but that's only in relation to a full sized Magnolia. This one can get to 30' where a standard Magnolia grandiflora is a lot taller. Smaller leaves on this one too.

Your Magnolia is a lovely tree. I would love to be able to grow one here.

~ Enjoy

This was a small tree until The Two Great Freezes of 2017 and it died back to the ground. Now it's coming back...a hummingbird favorite. The neighbor across the street has a Magnolia. Her's is just starting to bloom. The blooms smell faintly of lemons to me.

Oh, that Esperanza is *gorgeous*! Instant plant envy.

Unfortunately it won't grow here. Waaaahhhhhh!

Host plant for the Gulf Fritillary.

Awesome! Does it make fruits too?

SpookyShoe · June 16, 2018

Narnian, some Passiflora make fruits; the variety I have is for all intents and purposes sterile. I am told I can pollinate my flowers with the pollen of a non-sterile variety and that may cause fruits to form.

OK. You might want to give it a try?

I have read that Passifloras can be difficult to germinate.. so it is a challenge for die hard gardeners. In our climate it definitely needs a greenhouse... so I am not going to try any of the varieties. There are Passion fruits in the supermarket if need be.

I don't know the variety of the ginger, but it is very fragrant. Likewise with the lily or amaryllis...I don't know which it is.

Donna, Texas Gulf Coast...hot!
