February 28th addendum

Mother Aloe
She's had several babies so far and
now she's about to bloom!
Can't wait to see the color of the flowers.
They range from yellows and oranges to reds.
This plant was a rescue.
We specialize in Lazarus plants.
You'd be surprised what stores and people
discard, thinking the plant died.

This is our paperwhite lilies.
Aren't they beautiful?
 

 
Citronella
We've got several of these.
Two flank the front door and
a couple are near the patio.
Its our natural mosquito repellant.
Smells just like the candles.
You can break off a leaf, rub it on yourself
and it is a natural bug repellant.
They can grow really large,
but if they are trimmed periodically,
the bush they become is very pretty.
I love the shape of their leaves.
 
Just wanted to share a few more garden picks.
Thanks to all who
take the time to
read my musings.
I love ya!
