Did you Know?

Thanks, Dorie, for this interesting post. Good luck with those seeds.

Dorie I am not positive, but I don't think we have "Pride of Barbados Plants" around here.  They are a pretty plant, and I would plant them in my yard if they can stand up to our cold winters.

I had no idea, I probably walked by some in my neighborhood too, next time I will have to focus on it more when I am walking Holly, Endre

I used to have one of these growing at my house, I never knew what it was called, but I thought I heard someone say it was bird of paradise, haha, I guess not.  I replaced it with Jasmine, anyways.

This is the first time I ever heard of this plant! I look forward to seeing photos of yours next year!

Hello Dorie - when it comes to flora and fauna as well as many sorts of fantastic things, I can easily become flustered in identifying them. Your post was interesting, but I will likely misplace the information learned in my that memory bank of mine - AKA my mind.  Happy Sunday.  

Great idea, Dorie!  When I hike in the mountains, I see many, many beautiful wildflowers and often wonder if they could be planted in my yard.  Slightly different elevation and climate, however, but it is a good idea to try.

Hi Dorie:

Best of luck with growing the Pride of Barbados. I've never hear of it but I bet it grows here in California.

I did not know! that looks like a fun project! we will need pictures of the finished product!! 

Dorie Dillard Austin TX - that's a great tip! I didn't know that either until you wrote about it. You have a good and nature caring friend. I'm glad we're friends too. 

I have not seen those here, but what a great idea.  Funny thing about knowledge, most of it is informal that being learning from others.  Good luck with your spring planting.

What a gorgeous plant! Hope those seeds produce big things for you next Spring.
