At our Forest Rd garden we recently planted a dwarf red maple and two Kousa dogwoods.
These replace three trees lost during the 2019 tornado. Jan, Gary, Ann and Ed teamed up to get it done.
Special thanks to Ann for donating the trees!

These Saguaro cacti were started from seed 30 years ago by one of our club members. Care is easy: they are immersed in water overnight 3 times a year. They are kept indoors to avoid getting too much water. In their natural habitat they flower at age 40 and grow an arm at age 75. An unusual houseplant! Click to enlarge. |
