Left at lunch again today, planted for almost six hours. I’ll caption these later; too busy being dead right now.

Three lavender, four oregano, forty crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ about ten(ish) crocosmia ‘Montbretia’, three purple salvia, and a little clump of red bee balm that may or may not live. I moved a bunch of evening primrose and a clump of catnip to get stuff where I wanted it. Goddamned bees better appreciate this; I ran into so much clay that I literally had to custom make the soil. Did have an idea for the clay…might try that instead of buying a pond liner for lobelia cardinalis. Dunno.

My sturdy  (lonely, much-photographed) hyacinth. I love this little guy, and he’s in full bloom now.

First daffy-down-dilly is almost open!

About vinca, I’m largely indifferent, but its flowers are pretty.

Strelitzia nicolai! Finally!

Not sure who this is…some kind of sphinx, maybe. I potted him; if I remember to keep it covered, I might find out who he is. Found when i was digging up evening primrose.
