Good afternoon! Though the moon picture with the pines was taken in the morning lol but here are some flowers popping up In the garden at work, I'm not sure what they are, and if you ever or have ever seen a plant I've put up here and I don't know that name and you do, message me if you'd like with the actual name and it be appreciated. The, last I looked up is a Female eastern Hercules beetle, I think but pretty sure. Theres another picture on my posts of it but this was the second one I've seen lately and wanted to know more about them.
Question: I live In about a zone 9 and I ordered plants that go up to zone 8 :0 (!)
ive already ordered them, what's the best way to keep them going in a warmer region, I've watched GW but I want to know different peoples experiences even if our areas aren't the same. You can message ^-^ to be more specific haha, tulips and crown imperials??
Hey! Real quick, I know that there will be some plants that I put up that I think I know but are really something else, what I'm saying is that if I'm wrong about something don't be afraid to call me out cause I'm not perfect and I make mistakes, on that note I will say that I think the orange flowers I call marigolds could just be orange cosmos. Thank you!
and the purple flower was at the plant nursery we go to and I'm sure is an artichoke, and beautiful. And the others is at our house and is a bat flower with and day lily.
Good afternoon everyone! It's 12:07pm here! Lol, but here are some pictures of the lime tree in flower at our house and some orange cosmos (I think) at our job. The lime tree will continuously flower throughout the summer into the fall and even last year had it flowering in winter inside the house (not greenhouse, I don't have a greenhouse, I put all the exotics and Tropicals in the house in front of a south facing window [its actually 3 windows close together in the living room] and water them only when needed. And a couple of them are in 30 gallon pots+, so there big, established plants. You don't always need a greenhouse if you can get the conditions right). At the same time i have to move these big plants continuously throughout the winter inside when there's any warm weather to benefit them. It can be very exhausting, demanding, and makes me worry sometimes. only a few like 3 or 4 are really big. But the limes will only be ready late summer to fall, but does fruit continuously.
Howdy everyone! The first is an IO moth, moths usually chill in front of the front door for some reason, but there have been a lot and there all beautiful. The second one is a black dung beetle I think ! The third is a fig tree with the fruits and were not the only ones who love them, all sorts of bugs and birds eat on them so hardly any go to waste. The yellow flowers im sure are a type of sedum and if anyone knows tell me please my mom bought them a while back. And the last I'm not sure either but if anyone knows send me a message ^-^ but they are covered in what appear to be aphids, and i don't mind them too much but what you can barely see are the hundreds or thousands of ant also dealing with the aphids, or the plant might have some sweets on it idk lol but it starts green with the seed like bunches on it that later turn red then to brown.
Ooh and on the fig tree towards the right side which is the one pointing south, is a branch that we let grow into the ground which acts now as a support that can still sprout off new branches at the base and keep growing in and through the ground. Thinking about it, it's pretty cool as plants have found ways to be there own support systems for establishing and spreading to cover vast areas.
Hey again everybody! Some pics ! The first is a giant leopard moth caterpillar that was resting on our grape vine at home, and I have the leopard moth pic back a few pages but it isn't this one lol. The next was just a toad chilling in the dirt of the cotton we have growing at work. Here's some different kinds of fruit we have growing naturally around. The figs from our backyard, the pindo palm fruits in the front (I'll have a picture of it with fruits cause one palm can have like 50+ lbs of fruit on it.) and the most natural cause there growing wild across the yard are the muscadine grapes, but I think it's the Florida species rather than the North Carolina. (there are many types but these are the smaller, I wish I knew a bit more) and the last two are very small flowers in the garden at work and are very sweet and noticeable, if you have the eye lol, but all plants big and small, weed or not are welcome in the gardens. As long as they don't become to bully-ish ha.
