Yes, indeed.
There was a party!
Party #2 -
WOO-HOO!
... and again, it was the three of us:
Me, myself and I!
Doing another tap dance in the backyard!
:-)
Here's the story from Last Spring
Perhaps you'd appreciate a bit of an explanation?
Disappeared.
Never to return.
I was SO disappointed!
In the Spring of 2007, I tried again.
I planted it at the "head" of the "Woodland Walk."
Now you know why the three of us enjoyed our party!
Actually, it was the 4 of us:
Me, myself, and I and "Mr. Ligularia,"
who not only returned again,
but is
Now in Bloom!

Here's the story from Last Spring
Perhaps you'd appreciate a bit of an explanation?
Four years ago, I planted a Ligularia - 'The Rocket' - in one of my backyard shady beds, but it wasn't damp enough.
'The Rocket' fizzled.Disappeared.
Never to return.
I was SO disappointed!
In the Spring of 2007, I tried again.
I planted it at the "head" of the "Woodland Walk."
Because our home is in the middle of a fairly steep slope, we experience a great amount of run-off when it rains! Some of that run-off has been tamed by underground channels.
However, a LOT of rain runs down our driveway, through the front yard towards the Raised Bed Gardens, and veers off towards the Woodland Walk. I've been creating limestone rock and sidewalk-chunk paths and retaining walls to not only control the water but hold onto the soil!
So, Mr. Ligularia receives a good amount of water
and seems to love his new home!
Yea!

Nothing "Shady" here!
And I'm headed for more sidewalk chunks next week! ;-)
