Plant Sale prep and unusual plants
Spent most of today loading the trailer with everything but plants. We’ll try to finish loading plants by the end of the day on Thursday, so that we can take off early on Friday to setup. It doesn’t look like we’ll be able to get everything to Canby in a single load and my truck is out of commission, so it will be an early morning on Saturday finishing moving plants and the final setup before the sale opens at 8am.
Both Eileen and I are plant geeks. What’s a plant geek? Someone who gets excited about a plant sale and the more unusual the plants the better.
Here’s a shot of Eileen’s Spider Lily (Hymenocallis occidentalis). Native to the Southern United States. Normally a summer bloomer, this one always blooms early in our greenhouse. Full size photo linked.

Me and my husband are plant geeks too, if there was not so much water between our countries we would like to join.

My mother has had spider lilies where she lives in the south. It’s fun to see a picture of an old friend.
