This Thursday August 5th at Observatory, Lord Whimsy, as part of his lecture "Nature as Miniaturist: An Illustrated Survey of the Bogs of Southern New Jersey" will be displaying the epic carnivorous plant-filled container bog seen above. Said bog is also, as it turns out, for sale; you can even take it home with you after Thursday's event if so inclined! Full info follows, as found on Lord Whimsy's website; if you are interested, you can email Whimsy at email [at] lordwhimsy.com. Mr. Bill Smith was kind enough to lend one of his container bogs (pictured above) for my Observatory talk this Thursday night in Brooklyn. He would like to inform you folks out in the netiverse that he is offering this three year-old bog garden for sale at the very reasonable price of $200--an excellent bargain, since purchasing these mature plants separately would cost considerably more. The container is hollow resin, and can be left outside year-round without worry of cracking. The plants in the bog include: Purple Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea 'Jersey Girl'), Yellow Trumpet Pitcher (S. flava), Catesby's S. purpurea x S. flava hybrid pitcher plant (S. x Catesbei), Grass Pink Orchid (Calopogon tuberosus), 'Hamilton' dwarf cranberry, Spade leafed sundew (Drosera intermedia), and Thread leafed sundew (D. filiformis). A marvelous, mature grouping of classic North American bog plants, suitable for rooftop gardens and decks. No fertilizer necessary. Very low maintenance: just keep in full sun with regular waterings. Can be left outside year-round. All plants are cold hardy in zone 6b. Interested parties may contact me (email [at] lordwhimsy.com) and claim their purchase after my lecture on Thursday evening. Similar container bogs of all sizes can be had at Rarefind Nursery. You can find out more about Lord Whimsy's presentation here.

Albuca ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ or Corkscrew Albuca has thick, tightly curled leaves on short stems that arise from an underground bulb. Fragrant yellow flowers appear in spring on flower spikes that are adorned with10-20 blooms per spike. The blossoms have a light vanilla fragrance. Grow in full sun and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. There are no pest or disease problems with ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ so it makes an ideal home garden plant that’s distinctive and eye-catching. Special Note to Customers: Albuca ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ is a spring bloomer. When it sends up flower stalks, it often causes the tips of the leaves to brown. This is a natural occurrence. If you don’t want this to happen, simply remove the flower stalks as soon as they start to grow to prevent leaf tip browning.

We love, love, love, love stinging nettle as a food. We harvest this wild green regularly and use it primarily in our very dense greens soup. Five years ago I would not have imagined that I would be harvesting nettle regularly. Even the slightest brush up against it would leave me with an aching rash […]
They're so easy to keep alive.
Alluring and unique, this variety within the bird nest fern category is referred to as a Hurricane or twisted bird nest (aka Asplenium Antiquum). Its dazzling, swirly leaves grow thicker and fuller with age and the larger it grows the more beautiful it looks. This plant is fun and easy-to-care-for. Plant you receive is not necessarily plant in photo. This is a seller AND buyer favorite 🤩 They enjoy water and do not like to dry out too much. Indirect light is best as direct sunlight will scorch the leaves. Comes in 2”, 4”, 6” and 8” sizes based on whole sale designations. These plants ship as a bare root. Minimum of 2 for purchase of 2” size. You can request a pot if you like but If you request a pot please note in some cases it will be separate from the plant itself and you must plant it yourself upon receiving it. Depends on the size If you choose the option with pot that means you get a 6” with the holiday planter, the plant itself will not be planted in the planter you will need to plant it once you receive it. We suggest planting into a regular plastic pot then using the planter for decoration only.

Hosta 'June' is a wildly popular, creamy-centered UK-discovery sport of the old standard Hosta 'Halcyon'. Each leaf emerges with blue edges and a brilliant creamy center that gradually changes to dark chartreuse. This is one of those shockingly beautiful hostas that stands out as soon as you spot it in the garden. We recommend some morning sun for best coloration. The 3' wide clumps are topped with light violet flowers on 20" scapes in early summer...attractive to hummingbirds. Maintenance: Other than clearing away the dead foliage in fall, it should be a maintenance free perennial. Voles and deer are two pests that will need to be addressed if they are a problem in your area. If you experience hail on your hosta, they can be immediately cut to the ground, and they will re-flush with new leaves. If the hail occurs late in the summer, you may be better off to just leave the foliage intact instead of force new growth when the plant is preparing to go dormant. Old flower stalks are best removed for appearance sake, although these have no impact on the growth of health of the plant. Growing Conditions: Like many hostas, it thrives in light, open shade. Moist, rich, compost enhanced soils are best. It will not thrive in deep or very dry shade. Natural Impacts: Bees are the main pollinators for all hostas, and they are great for attracting these pollinators to your garden.
