My snow on the mountain(euphorbia leucocephala) is churning up a snow storm. The last photo a few posts down seems tame because it was partially in bloom. It is a joy to walk pass this shrub that looks like billowing white clouds. In a few weeks time it will loose all its blooms and set seed. I will then cut it back and let it grow again for Christmas 2010.
It really does look like fluffy snow. A very beautiful shrub :-)
ReplyDeleteNow that is my kind of snow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bush! I too have it. We call it Snows of Kilimanjaro.
ReplyDeleteoh wow! this shrub is so cool! Love those 'snow'. It stand-out from the rest as well. Nice, nice, nice!
ReplyDeleteoh, manno, hier liegt soooo viel echter Schnee, 40cm! Es ist so kalt 20Grad minus. Gerne würde ich im Augenblick mit Dir tauschen.
ReplyDeleteliebe Grüße Dörte
Translation to what Dorte said........oh, man, here is soooo much real snow, 40cm! It's so cold -20 degrees
ReplyDeletebelow zero. I would love to share the moment with you.
Love Greetings Dorte
Referring to your comment on Gloxinia, when mine re-grow after pruning the first time, I almost killed it (rotted) due to overwater. The plant is really sensitive to water. Now it grew second time but infested by white alphid that gives white wholly spots. Nowadays I am busy with getting rid of the pest. Regarding the Desert Rose, yeah even the nursery owner told me that it might not grow back due to the young 'age' of the plant. I was so, so relieved when it grew back ;-) So now I learnt not to do anything drastic to Desert Rose. Happy gardening!
ReplyDeleteThis plant is really blooming like mad. Ooh la la, let it snow, let it snow...
ReplyDeleteWe have almost the same climate, so that Euphorbia leucocephala will also thrive here. Sadly, i haven't seen that anywhere here at all. Maybe in the next future we can exchange seeds, hehe. You can still have white Christmas amidst those greens and hot weather!
