A note from lauribob
I am not interested in selling or trading live plants. I do save seeds once in awhile and would be willing to trade those.

Planted in a hanging pot. It's still in the greenhouse - no sign of life yet.

Tender/Annuals
Water
FS-PS, 18-30". These are only hardy to 30°
2024: I picked up 3 of these at Ace Hardware after they suffered some frost damage. They cut them way back and sold for half price. They look like they'll probably survive. I will pot them up, fertilize them, and see how they do in the greenhouse. None of the papyrus I planted from seed has shown up yet. I got a late start this year again.
2022: Put one in each barrel. These were really outstanding this year! Starting with 4" pots, they were a 2-3' high graceful focal point in all 3 barrels this year. I am attempting to overwinter in the pump-house, after cutting them way back so they'd fit on the shelf. We'll see; it's worth a try anyway.

Tender and Annuals this year
Tender/Annuals
FS-PS, moist soil, 18-24", spring-summer. This is my longest lived calla lily so far!

2024: I forgot about it in the pumphouse this year. It's in the GH now, but I don't know if I left it too long...
2023: Had my doubts about it this year, but it finally came up.
2022: These are more robust than ever this year! The blooms are a much deeper color, and the leaves are spotted. Odd that they would change like that, but it's quite striking.
2021: Third year for these! They were in active growth in the pumphouse - I watered them from time to time because we stayed home this winter. When I moved them to the greenhouse, they bloomed almost immediately. They were still blooming when I moved them outside.
2020: Successfully overwintered! Bloomed quite well again.
2019: These bloomed nicely, a lovely shade of lavender.
