Well, I didn’t quite get all of my summer reviews in before our new addition of Josephine Grace (still working on the nick name), but there is some good material and photos in the series so I’m going to keep them coming. After enjoying our time with Dr. Welch, enjoying the chicken, and enjoying the […]

From Bumps to Bulbs: Summer in Review Part 6
After Houston it was back to the farm where our beautiful Crinum ‘Bradley’ bulbs were in full bloom. These are the SAME BULBS WE SHARED THIS YEAR through the newsletter “The Bulb Hunter”! We only had 18 nice big bulbs out of these clumps though, and they sold out the same day we sent the […]
From Bumps to Bulbs: Summer in Review Part 5
After my quick trip to El Paso, it was back to the farm to check on the freshly planted antique roses and meet a shipment of some lent lilies that an Oklahoman bulb farmer was divesting themselves of. The shipment of bulbs is on the tailgate of my truck, and the rose you see is […]
From Bumps to Bulbs: Summer in Review Part 4
We made it back to the farm after our trip across the South and the only really exciting thing to mention was the fact that the original milk and wine lily crinums had now put on their gigantic seed pods where flowers had once been. These pods eventually pull the flower stalks down to the […]
Another Day in the Mud

All The Crinums Are Blooming
The rain really has the crinums blooming on the farm for another spectacular round. We haven’t seen a great second bloom out of Crinum ‘Bradley’ but the milk and wine lilies (Crinum x herbertii) and ‘Carol Abbott’ bulbs are all on their 3rd bloom! Of course, the ‘Ellen Bosanquet’ bulbs, which are in their prime […]
Something Was Staring At Me
We had dinner tonight at a couple’s house with the last name Ball–they’re originally from Mississippi and their house was filled with interesting old pieces from the small town where they worked and grew up. When I walked into one room, I felt like something was staring at me…sure enough, there were a lot of […]
Eggplants and Katydids
This week I found myself in a garden of a friend that was filled with eggplant (Solanum melongena). He took the time to harvest some! There were a lot and now we’re trying to figure out what to do with them all. Today this fellow landed on my truck. Amazing how a katydid can actually […]
