Midsummer photos.
Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2013 1:04 am
Just some random photos taken recently. Most are of bamboo.
It's getting very dry around here. 2 inches of rain since the start of may. No rain in july yet, and none in the forecast. Late july and most of august is the statistically the hottest & driest time of year here...so dont light a match!
Yushania Boliana front & back with some thick summer culms coming up.
Big Banana slug on the move
Bashania Fargesii, it's sending out rhizomes all thru the grass around it.
Parvifolia culms still rising.
Rubro doing well behind bashania fargesii & under a douglas fir.
Chusquea Gigantea, dead & scruffy culms recently pruned out.
Spectabilis just starting to run this year.
New Vivax H.Inversa culms
Pleioblastus Hindsii 'yasui'
Pleioblastus Chino 'murakamianus' prettiest variegated leaves of any bamboo I grow.
Clearance plants from Home Depot planted yesterday.
No-ID New Zealand Flax, has a golden central strip. Only $2.50 for a 1 gallon pot.
No-ID Variegated Yucca. 1 gallon pot, $3.50 each, bought 2
Japanese silver grass, Miscanthus Sinensis. 1 gallon pot $3, bought 2.
All three planted together.
