The orange will look stunning with the blue foliage of eucalyptus and I'll let it romp around. Also, a maianthemum and the brugmansia I showed. There were a few other gems that I've forgotten. I'd purchased plants from FR at several plant sales earlier in the season so this trip's haul wasn't huge. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-20038856140850150462015-06-29T19:27:18.577-07:002015-06-29T19:27:18.577-07:00I'm envious!I'm envious!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-74546909959745159802015-06-29T19:26:59.430-07:002015-06-29T19:26:59.430-07:00Oh yes, definitely worth a visit!Oh yes, definitely worth a visit!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-21076884190195533752015-06-29T19:21:16.731-07:002015-06-29T19:21:16.731-07:00I put a Bella Grigio in bad soil and blazing sun a...I put a Bella Grigio in bad soil and blazing sun and it's doing well.

Although, I have seen trees larger than mine blooming and with fat leaves. Go figure. Again, I forgot to take a picture of my haul.

I just pulled the remaining wilted specimens from the garden and potted them up. I saw that G. perpensa at the Mendocino Bot. Garden and briefly wondered if it would survive here in a pot.
