Bald Cypress, already a few years old and perhaps wondering what is my future.
Well that was then and the here is now and you get to fill a void that this once
tall standing Podocarpus tree graced this very spot, where your roots have not yet
taken to, these sacred grounds o f t h i s c o n s t a n t g a r d e n e r . . .

as does it' ever entwining vine.
Beauty will present it's self in surprisingly stunning ways.

I just used my sweat acuity, barely broke a sweat to be honest and viola.
ready for transplant. Wrestled from the soil at the base of my giant Bald Cypress tree,
safe from what ever Ian can blow at it. I also have a really great pot that was gifted to me
that has a calling to nurse these seedlings into strong healthy plants.
With a perimeter of branches to deter the squirrels from unknowingly subjecting these newly
planted seedlings from being harassed.
Note the little seedling in the middle that almost got over looked, not even in the same league,
a league of it's own.
A Coontie seedling in the urban wild, that almost got passed over to
joining the big league. Note the seed at the top of the soil at the base
of this seedling. I must of missed this one when I made an attempt to
push these seeds into the soil for improved germination, which explains it's
late blooming status. It has a lot of catching up to do too.
Before our uninvited guess who's initials start with 'I', as in Ian...oops!
My neighbor had this at the curb,
harden up before sticking them in the ground.
Yucca Elephantipes (Spineless Yucca) I've admired these that had been planted at our local
Taco Bell for many years, not realizing that my neighbor had these in his yard all along.
This plant will hardly be considered a folly, as it will almost be a guarantee to be a successful
rescue. I shouldn't be so bold to suggest such, anything can happen in the gardening world.

These two spent pots sitting ideally, grab my attention yesterday. As much as I vowed not to plant
freeze sensitive plants in ginormous planters.
No pressure, new stick plantings and now that I have a picture of my garden renderings. Let's
see what you got, no pressure.

that appears to be trying to blow us humans off the face of Florida...or blow the state a new
hole...
and with little doubt, leave us soaking wet...
Compliments to the Windy and Mirror Lab apps, and my imagination... hehe

Once again, we find ourselves at the crossroads where time will tell.
The finely ground sphagnum moss and it's needed moisture's double edged sword of
life sustaining or life rotting capabilities, along with some captured humidity, more moisture,
in this recycled plastic container.
This strategy hopefully will provide the needed outcome and
environment for this minuscule green life form to thrive.
