Actually I have been feeling pretty lazy this year. I am way behind on posting my photos (at least I took some!). Lilies have kept me busy doing pollinations and labeling, protecting crosses etc. Then there was lily week where we quickly cobbled up some stuff in the nick of time. I'm an admitted procrastinator!

It is hard to find Canna Tropicanna without the virus Bev. But I know it will be harder to find these pots again.

Thank you Lynn. Yes they are growing. I will work on taking them out of the pots early because I planted direct in the pots and they are to heavy to move with soil and plants. If I have to break the plants up maybe they will have time to recover before their winter rest period. I keep them semi growing through the winter.

Yep Big and heavy. I am going to hire help to bring them in this year I am getting older and tired and weak. Rolling on the floor laughing I have been thinking of how I could maybe wrap them in plastic and set them up on a wooden pallet. I chipped the bottom of one last year moving them in and it looks like they put terracotta over cement then painted them. That combo is odd. I wonder if they were meant to be winter hardy.

The talavera pottery are big but moveable these 2 are my big problem.
