After a brutal nearly 3 weeks of no rain and daytime high temperatures ranging from 93 - 101F, we finally had a shower last evening with promise of hopefully more to follow. I didn't even worry about the grass - it will come back - but I watered & watered trying to keep things alive, not thriving. Need to trim dead leaves. dry 014.jpg

How did I miss this thread? It gets buried by big dick and its sad. I'm assuming this is an Allocasia? So big. For me, it's like living with a big dog. Happy friendly that just begs attention.

This is Colocasia - same family. These are very hardy in Florida,for example. Here they die back in winter and come back in spring. The first year the leaves were huge. If I dug them up and separated them every year and replanted they would probably stay bigger but It's hard enough keeping up with everything as is - especially with the unpreDICKtable weather now!:expressionless:

We got a GOOD shower last night here in New Mexico too. There were actually flash floods as a result! Luckily not overwhelming but definitely enough to encourage some flowers to open that were not going to until we got some moisture. It's beautiful today

It can be such a relief when you need it. We often get street flash flooding in low areas but the rivers generally carry it away pretty quickly. And the usual geniuses drive right into it.:expressionless: Anyway, we're supposed to be back to 100 by the end of the week so I hope the showers keep up.

Fimbriata Dahlias​

With their beautiful fringed petals, fimbriata dahlias look a little bit like a cactus dahlia. They are sometimes called ‘deer antler dahlias’ because of the unique split ends of its petals.
Fimbriata Dahlias feature blooms where the tips of the ray florets should be evenly split or notched into two or more divisions. This should be uniformly throughout the bloom to create an overall fringed effect. The petals may be flat, involute, revolute, straight, incurving or twisted
These are without doubt very very striking blooms, often in multiple colours or stripes and excellent border flowers providing amazing colour and one of the very best cut flowers, a true florists delight.

Elephant Garlic​

Elephant Garlic is a plant belonging to the onion genus. It has a tall, solid, flowering stalk and broad, flat leaves. The flavour is milder than garlic and can be eaten raw in salads, roasted, or sauteed, but is generally not a substitute for conventional garlic in cooking.
The mature bulb is broken up and sold in cloves that are large with papery skins, and these are used for both culinary purposes and propagation. Also, much smaller corms with a hard shell grow on the outside of the bulb. Many gardeners often ignore these, but if they are planted, they produce a nonflowering plant in their first year, which has a solid bulb, essentially a single large clove. In their second year, this single clove then, like a normal bulb, divides into many separate cloves. While it may take an extra year, it is desirable to plant these small bulbils (several can be produced by each bulb) and increase the harvest.
Unlike many garlics, elephant garlic does not have to be harvested or divided each year, but can be ignored and left in the ground without much risk of rotting. The plant, if left alone, will spread into a clump with many flowering heads (one stalk and flower from each clove, once the bulb divides). These are often left in flower gardens as an ornament and to discourage pests. Once they get overcrowded, the plant may not do as well, and growth is stunted, with some rotting. Elephant garlic is not generally propagated by seeds.
Like regular garlic, elephant garlic can be roasted whole on the grill or baked in the oven, then used as a spread with butter on toast. Drying in the basement for a few months reduces the moisture content and brings out a fuller flavour.
