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.

My #plantoftheseason - Ligularia Othello. This is just one plant in its second year. Large leaves open dark purple, turning dark green and purple underneath. Sprays of orange daisy flowers have been going for a month - loved by #pollinators and #bees.
