Soo... I live in Houston where it is stinkin' hot and horrifickly humid starting in mid April (sometimes earlier than that, but we had a remarkably long spring this year.) My garden generally looks great in May, and then I completely ignore it until mid October when we have a "cold" front and the highs drop back down into the 80s. Our first cold front is coming this week. Yayyy!!!
So first confession: I am an extremely lazy "gardener."
Also I've been having a lot of anxiety/depression issues the past couple of years, so I haven't spent any good quality time in the garden for... well, I don't know how long.
Anyway. Because this weekend is going to be nice (Yayyyy!!!) and I have some extra time off because of Columbus Day (ironic side note... when I lived in Columbus, Ohio, we didn't get Columbus Day off, but we do in Houston.
) my husband and I just went outside to look at the back and front yard to make plans on what we want to do this weekend.
So after wading through the backyard (thank goodness our fences are high!) and deciding on a plan, we went to the front garden to look at the thing that can be transplanted to the back. (We bought this house with an extensive garden in the front yard... my neighbors are very kind and longsuffering. And I have a lot of perennials/natives between the nutgrass and ruellia.
)
There have been blooms this week in the middle beds, that I thought were the crinums, so I was thinking this would be the perfect week to transplant them - after they are done blooming. But when we got closer, we found these... which are NOT the crinums, and I should know perfectly well what they are, but I can't remember. What are they?
They are a little orangier than the photos looks.
Ignore the liriope and the baby Texas Sage.
