My 3rd #VietnameseCoriander container is now totally full of happy plants! I propagated these ones from my main repurposed bathtub planter, in June. They are left outside in Winter & they survive through snow/ice. We harvest them year round on an as needed basis.

⚠️DO NOT put these into the ground. Grow in containers so you can control them. They spread fast, if put into ground.

One of several, bright yellow #wallflowers started blooming this week. These are under our large cedar tree - in a well mulched rock garden bed. It was delightful to see their flowers emerge again. Most of our other wallflowers bloomed all through Summer & stopped in October. They smell amazing!

I took a cutting from Uptown parking lot. I don't have this #purple #pansy in our gardens. I will have several soon because I can #propagate lots of them, once my cutting gets well rooted in one of my garden pots 💜

We grow 3 different coloured #snapdragons - these red ones, white & yellow ones too. We have more of the reds than the other two. Like pansies - snapdragons are hella resilient flowering plants. When well mulched, they survive & produce blooms in midst of Winter - defying snow & ice conditions.

Snapdragons started being cultivated by gardeners in the 15th century.

Appreciating & defending #pansies 💜💛💚💜
I get upset when folks use #pansy as an insult/implied weakness. Pansies are hella tough flowers.
