A modest heat wave has turned a bit cooler, but still no rain for nearly 3 weeks. Plants are very dry. TPP has no choice but to water certain plants. The big-leaf Magnolias, a newish Cephalotaxus, a struggling double file hydrangea. However a couple of well established perennials or biennials were doing surprisingly well: several big blue Lobelias and very red Lobelia. Usually the latter is associated with some moist places, but this plant is just in a typical enough mixed bed. Lobelia cardinalis is just not a plant TPP has much luck with. Recently TPP told you that a Silene was about as red a flower as you can get, but forgot about this Lobelia. And the hummngbirds love it.

A data point for you: L. cardinalis thrives on my rooftop in NYC in a relatively small planter.
So glad for you and your planter. Cannot explain how some exotics grow so well for me, and others that people grow so well just do not perform.
It’s obvious some patients with #HIV are being enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I have been with the virus since 2014. I was introduced by a blogger who also narrated Her story online on how she was cured of #Genital #Herpes after using Doc Olori Native Cure . This is a year and 2 weeks since I was delivered from #HIV. All thanks to God for using this Great and sincere herbalist to heal me. I have promised to keep telling good things about him. Please feel free to share Your problems with him . Thanks. Write him on whats-app {+2348110492548} handout at Native Cure. droloriherbalcenter@gmail.com
