A Potted Plant & Some Basil

Been searching for the right pot for a 'Moonshine' Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata 'Moonshine') that I purchased almost a month ago.  Finally found one that seemed right (the pot is actually much greener in real life) and was able to get it planted.

Also placed three Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum) out into the garden beds in three different locales with varying light levels.  I want to see which one suits it's growth best.

I have continued working on preparing some future garden beds (and gradually reducing my Nandina stands).  With the cooler weather lately, it has been wonderful being outside.

...when a mushroom appears...

...in the pot for a Variegated Tree Aloe (Aloe arborescens 'Variegata').

Planted in Pots:

• Sansevieria 'Dwarf Laurentii'

Mild Winter

You know you're having a mild winter when you can pull off some damaged leaves from a Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) in November, cast them into your garden to decompose and then, come late February, discover that one leaf has managed to sprout and grow almost six inches.

Didn't even know that Snake Plant would sprout like this.  That's the original castaway portion laying along the ground in the back right of the picture.  I may have to see what I can produce next fall by trying this is some pots and keeping them out of the cold (though that hasn't been a problem this year!)

Planted in Ground:

• Wall Iris (Iris tectorum): Have been hanging on to two of them in nursery pots since last spring; finally decided to drop them down between the twin waterfalls.
• Little White Soldiers (Drimiopsis maculata): Finally planted this pass-along from Philip (East Side Patch) that I received way back before winter - this plant was on my Gotta Get List, so hoping it does well.
