Plant update

By Bill Jordan

We have one more frost predicted for the season, but spring has arrived as far as my plants know. I have a brown thumb, so I am pleased to have only lost one plant this winter, the fiber optic plant that was one of my favorites.

The first lily leaf has broken the surface:

The cardinal flowers continue to sprout:

The irises reach for the sun:

Plantains multiply:

And the parrot’s feather that I overwintered indoors begins to take root:

All that remains is the Umbrella Papyrus, which has to stay indoors until after the last frost.
