Some of the hardier things have begun the migration already to make room for the begonias that have been growing on the kitchen and butler's pantry countertops. Mostly things stay put but the door gets removed (no hinges or knob for some reason. We haven't gotten to that part of the restoration yet.) from the glass room during warm days. More will come out in April and the most tender things (begonias, geraniums) will wait until May.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-36839607468950171912014-03-17T22:41:34.357-07:002014-03-17T22:41:34.357-07:00I didn't know either until I was looking for t...I didn't know either until I was looking for the correct name on the internet and up popped a link to the info. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-57509468231717524532014-03-17T22:40:36.854-07:002014-03-17T22:40:36.854-07:00Veratrum is sometimes available at Far Reaches and...Veratrum is sometimes available at Far Reaches and I think Keeping it Green might have them, too.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-44799216525330390092014-03-17T22:39:23.452-07:002014-03-17T22:39:23.452-07:00Gardeners, start your trowels!Gardeners, start your trowels!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-45332920094302446252014-03-17T21:39:56.028-07:002014-03-17T21:39:56.028-07:00I don't love arborvitae, but that combination ...I don't love arborvitae, but that combination looks great!

The Arum is drawing me in once again: I think I'll take your advice and try it in a pot to limit it's "vigorous" nature. I can hardly wait for the Pulmonaria to bloom: 3 colors on one stem, they are darling little flowers. When does the pot migration back into the yard take place?chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-66531684480272476882014-03-17T08:36:12.273-07:002014-03-17T08:36:12.273-07:00Yikes who knew Veratrum was so deadly!

I've never seen it for sale, though (or maybe I didn't notice it, since there are so many other plants competing for attention).
