Rachel's Journal

Oh you Libertia is to die for!!!! Have to get a "Bride" to go with my wedding cake!!! Your garden is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree Monkells, Rachel's garden is beautiful.  I've just seen Michelle's cornflower in your photos Rachel.  Krista gave me a couple at Belvedere so I'm just going out to see if they're in flower.  Loved your irises too!  Loved everything.......

Thanks, Monica. Yep, got a 'Bride' and I also have a small wedding cake (not pictured) : )

Thanks too, Sally. Of course, we only photograph the good stuff!

I have my Cyperus in a pot outside! and it certainly got enough WET last night!

My another streptocarpus only growing new stems,i did cut it to much back,but it better for it,last year i did same.And got beautiful flowering in early summer.But streptocarpus from seeds growing more and more flower steams and start look now really like streptocarpus:))

I didn't know Streptocarpus should be kept dry. I water mine quite a bit and they seem to like it. I do let them dry out in the winter though.

Heather, I think you're supposed to let them dry out between waterings. But these are my first two and you have grown them from seed (if I recall correctly) so you must be doing it right. I would have a tendency to over-water anyway so maybe 'dry' for me is not what you might call 'dry'.
