Wednesday Vignette


Photos by Beloved
Office Building Anigozanthos
 Beloved saw these on a lunchtime walk, and kindly phone-toe-graphed them for me.  Amazing what overwatering and otherwise ignoring them can do.  Good information on growing Anigozanthos here, information which I plan to exploit, to see if I can duplicate the results seen above.

    1. Isn't it great? You can spot it from two blocks away.

  2. Mine aren't nearly that floriferous but I was happy just to see the flower stalks return this year. Thanks for the link - I've saved it for reference.

    1. I wonder how much they water them. Obviously considerable reflected heat...

      Must be pretty "meh" out of bloom, though. The rest of the building had the usual office-park plants, lawn, agapanthus, and raphiolepis buzzed into rectangles.

  3. My tall varieties aren't sizing up -- lack of water during winter. I see them used in fantastic massed plantings in commercial settings everywhere that look almost neglected, but the secret must be the means for steady irrigation the contractors laid down. I wonder if they know to taper off after bloom?

    1. Can't imagine an office park mow-blow crew adjusting irrigation.

      Trying to figure out how to place them so the flowers show but the plants don't. They are the orchids of Australia--the flowers thrilling, the plants not worth looking at.

    1. It is a beautiful blue sky. I admit I don't appreciate that as much as I should.
