First Recipients of a Winter Detailing

 Just a headsup, I will be experimenting with this writing with using their botanical Latin names

to see if I can learn their designated botanical nom de plumes...hehe. Along with a generic descriptor 

in what ever these things are called '    '.    Yeah , I know, right.

I also got finished with detailing my neighbor's backyard garden. So was inspired and psyched

and was buzzing with the same vibe and let loose on my garden to see what transpires 

As we gardeners know, there is always something that could be done in our garden.

 This Dietes vegeta, 'Iris' blooms several times during the year and looks great when

the dead stuff is removed. Most specimens that lack that regular maintenance, well, look it

and have many people that are amazed that it doesn't look like theirs. Well hello, most of

gardening requires the maintenance, whether it's weeding, thinning, pruning and removing

the dead stuff.      These Irises make great subjects for a Moon garden.

   Take in the different textures of green in the above picture.

 

Neoregelia spectabilis 'Bromeliad' is loooooooooking really fine. 

Profile please.  (Blogger's spartan formatting is making it's self known)

Dark and mysterious side prevails.

 

 

One of many advantages of detailing a garden is you give it the eye that detailing requires

and you spot things that you might not see when you casually peruse the garden. The

Stromanthe sanguinea 'Ginger' had a side shoot that was jamming my detail eye, if you

will. So the only solution would be to remove the offending interloper that causes your 

eye to pause and can't seem to move on until this minor discrepancy is resolved. In kicks

the critical thinking and resolving the issues. Where this negative is now a challenge that

will be turned into a positive to beautiful specimen that will once again shine, shine, shine.

Let it shine baby!

                     It looks it has always been there and know one will ever know the difference.

I like to give my transplants a daily watering for two weeks, then they are on their own.  Well  not

really, most of my transplant waterings can last a longer than that, depending on how well I sighted

this specimen, the specimen itself and multiple factors and the time of year. Again, this is but another 

page in the joys of gardening whether you like it or not. I just happen to 

enjoy the constant gardening that goes 

hand in hand with, well

gardening.
