#corms

The then the ones in the crates on the gravel I planted in succession. The first crate has a pastel mix, and the rest are all a pastel purple variety called ‘Milka.’ Hopefully they will all provide me with some nice tall stems to work with so I can start making larger arrangements than the mason jar bouquets.

The new leaf on my new variegated Dragon Scale is open! It's gorgeous and I love it. Not sure what caused the spots on the other leaves that have been there since I got her but she seems happy and healthy so I'm not concerned. Super excited for my journey with this one as it is one of the most rare if not the rarest in my collection 🥰

Alocasia Silver Dragon corms!

I tried to do each drawing in a different colouring style.

We’ve got some progress with the Alocasia Sarian corms finally! These little dudes have been in a shallow amount of water in a prop box for quite awhile now-- I would even dare to say a few months but roots have finally appeared!

Gladiolas are easy and adaptable, and they grow best in fertile, well-drained soil. Plant the corms 3 to 4” deep and about 5” apart. Planting just a little bit deeper will help keep the stems upright. If you have a cutting garden, gladiolus can be planted in a grid pattern, 5” on center. In beds and borders they look best planted in informal groups of 5 or more bulbs.
