Brooklyn Garden Girl: April 2012

http://brooklyngardengirl.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 27, 2012. But besides that the plant selection is fair for a small show. You have tons of orchids for sale, some over priced annuals in standards and various common perennials that are in prime shape. The amount of 'home' care stuff added to the show (aka windows, cushions, chairs, soap, food etc) is out of hand as it is with most shows. The orchids were lovely as well. Friday, April 20, 2012. Oh the Philadelphia Flower Show! The show was packed. Insanely so. I might be jaded from h...I als...

Brooklyn Garden Girl: July 2012

http://brooklyngardengirl.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 27, 2012. Eastern Conference Additions Sansevieria. I get why people seem to dislike sansevierias, they're boring, you don't have to baby them, the flowers aren't too showy. But when you're gardening full time and living in tight quarters, the appeal of sanseverias take on an entire new playing field. I guess my interest in them really started about a year and a half ago when my co-gardener gave me one of those Saneveria cylindrica. I checked out some other varieties on Glasshouseworks.

Brooklyn Garden Girl: April 2013

http://brooklyngardengirl.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 9, 2013. After a winter of searching on Daffseek and trying to find open source photos of Daffodils, everything is finally starting to bloom and is coming up in full. I'm very pleased that the job decided to include my daffodil sheets. It took a while to gather some of that information so I'm just glad that we've made this more of an educational display rather than just an astoundingly large number of bulbs. Friday, April 5, 2013.

Brooklyn Garden Girl: June 2012

http://brooklyngardengirl.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 22, 2012. Our hydrangeas just look amazing this year. Hydrangeas aren't exactly difficult plants to maintain but there are definitely a few steps you can do to make them perform better. One of the most important thing about growing hydrangeas is knowing which type of hydrangea you have. Different hydrangeas require different pruning times since some will flower on new wood and others will flower on old wood. In the meantime I have some pictures I took of these babies during our New York heat...

Brooklyn Garden Girl: Edema

http://brooklyngardengirl.blogspot.com/2013/01/edema.html

Friday, January 4, 2013. In the cactus society always ask about cactus scabbing. Cacti naturally become corky as they age but environmental factors can help accelerate the process. Edema (oedema, corky scab) is a common, noninfectious disease of many herbaceous and woody plants. Edemaresults when the plant takes up more water through the roots than the leaves can transpire through the stomates. The excess water accumulates in the leaf cells, causing them to enlarge and often burst. Get Cool Plants At.

Brooklyn Garden Girl: August 2012

http://brooklyngardengirl.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 10, 2012. I'm totally in love with Ceropegias right now. After having my Ceropegia woodii for only a few months, the plant has grown at least four feet and is in bloom. The leaves are beautiful, the flowers are weird. I love it. Of course I've started looking into other varieties of this beauty in hopes of expanding my collection. Much to my disappointment, I've found that most aren't available on the market. I guess I need to find cuttings of the tri color. They also form a Caudex. Has de...

Brooklyn Garden Girl: March 2013

http://brooklyngardengirl.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 29, 2013. That time of year again. The Philly flower show just seemed so much more manageable this year. Navigation was improved and there were plenty of beautiful plants on display. I can't say I paid as much attention to the staged displays this year. The British theme was very flexible in letting a good variety of plants creep into the gardens but I guess I'm just more interested in the plants these days then the staging. I was reintroduced to Galium odoratum. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
